Toronto may have been too cloudy to see the aurora borealis this week, but we still get glimpses of spectacle.
Photo of evening clouds gilded with bright peach-pink. A bare, November tree branch intrudes the scene.

Argh, nothing but clouds over our spot in Toronto right now.

Saw The Beaches in concert tonight here in their hometown, Toronto.

Damn, they’re so good.
Fuschia lighting and L-R, Kylie, Eliza, Jordan and Leandra rocking out. Big LED sign with THE BEACHES behind them.

Out for a short ride this evening.

Looking at Skydome in one direction, and early DST sunset in the other. #bikesky #BikeTO
View over my blue handlebars of a path and pier-log-and-rope fence, with downtown and the CN Tower beyond. Skydome is nestled amongst the skyscrapers. Bike facing the other way along the fence, dramatic clouds splotching the sky with bright yellow sunset peeking along the waterline of Lake Ontario.

Yeah it was pretty perfect. #biketo
Strava map of my route through the ravines in Toronto. My bike along the wood and metal bridge with autumn trees beyond. Weird angle and wide lens make my wheel look wonky.

Cycled 47 km round trip to a post-surgery check-up because it’s autumn and I was in the Don Valley.

HUMAN ARTISTS!

Use one piece to convince people to follow you!
Oil painting, pencil, and digital. A trilobite fossil painted in a Naples yellow green piece of shale, and the green trilobite has shimmery dragonfly wings. Crinoids to one side are broken off and continue as white on black drawings. “Mythological Flying Trilobite Fossil III” 🐡🧪🎨

Beautiful bike ride out to Thunderdome. #BikeTO #Toronto #bikesky
My bike view of the handlebars, yellow leaves on the path and alongside the brush on the path. Thunderdome. A cortense steel rusty coloured three level spiral to elevate you from the Don Valley path toward the Bermondsey path. Not seen here from the upper deck, but someone has sprayed “two men enter one man leave” on pillars entering at the bottom. View of the railway lined by red maples, taken from the bridge leading to the Thunderdome. My bike tire on the black asphalt with yellow and red maple leaves peppering the ground.

Goth Ladybug in Mellow Manor garden today. 🐞
Slightly out of focus, I was in a hurry. Autumn leaf (beech?) on old concrete path, and a really really dark ladybug, typical black and white face, with black and hints of deep wine-red on the elytra. Unretouched iPhone 11 Pro photo.

Went for a short 8km ride with a friend this morning, my first since nose and throat surgery almost 2 weeks ago.

Beautiful quiet morning in Toronto.

Luna says hi.
White dog with one brown ear looking at the camera. Looks like a border collie mix but is German shepherd, Argentine dogo, and St Bernard. Same dog looking to the side with mouth open, panting and happy.

For my new followers on Bluesky, keep in mind many of us won’t even see your profile if you have a generative AI profile pic, banner, or regularly post AI images.

Subscribing to the aimod moderation list below blocks almost all of it and is fantastic.

Surgery in about 12 hours (nose and throat stuff). See you peeps in recovery.

May not answer requests about the #SciArt Feed for several days.

I’ll keep checking those amazing #SciArtSeptember posts though!

Few things make me feel more “me” than cycling 100 km.

#BikeTO #Bikesky
Route on Strava, 105 km. Toronto, Canada. Western Humber, Finch Hydro Corridor, Don Valley. A deer that crossed our path in the morning, lit by the sun. Humber River trail. Our bikes on the old Humber Bridge, you know the one. A great Blue Heron lit by the sun in green water.

Applied for another role I reeeeally want, in an organization I respect immensely. And now I wait.

Every time I’m on my bicycle in the middle of the day, it feels like I’m getting away with something. Like hooky from school.

Got a solid 40km in today.
