Elvis has not left the building, least not a building in Toronto's Kensington Market; and MJ is there with him. Clearly, neither of them do windows.

Classic Chinese resting pose, the squat, here in life and mural art.
Chose TO's Chinatown for street photography yesterday. The neighbourhood beautifully continues to mostly resist development keeping its truly engaging charm.

Happy #mallardmonday. From various locations (ON to AB) over a few years. Common in Canadian wetlands but not any less beautiful for their frequent appearance in my lens.

#birdoftheday is #swans A couple of Trumpeter Swan cygnets. Lake Ontario, 2024. There were a couple of families moving together; six or seven cygnets; too long lens to get anything but closeups -- not the usual 'problem' photoing birds :)

Good morning, the #BirdOfTheDay theme today is paddling birds standing or walking in shallow water. Here a North American Coot shows off her ever so odd made for walking on land as well as paddling in the water feet. Lois Hole Park, Alberta 2020.

My favourite shot of my visit to The Royal, yesterday. I love photos that tell a story; and I shoot far too few of them.
For the record, the goats, horses and cattle I saw were far (far!) better groomed than was (am?) I 😂
Been too long; forgot how much I love ag fairs.

Happy to see this guy eating a walnut in a tree a few feet from my balcony, rather than digging holes in my balcony garden containers to bury them, which he does, a lot. :)

Not sure this qualifies for #birdoftheday #OddAngles, maybe more accurately bird leg at odd angles? Trumpeter Swan. Kept the leg like this long enough I began to wonder if there was an injury, but then she waddled away on both legs and all was good :)

Down on my belly on the frozen Baffin Bay to say hello to and photograph this Ringed Seal. See her breathing hole ("aglu" in Inuktitut), photo right. April 2025. Inuit guide said the colouration meant a fairly young seal.
