This is fun. In the upcoming municipal election, kids can learn about democracy by voting for the Tree of the Year. There are even candidate profile pages for each tree.🍁Saplings of the winning tree will be given to schools and in public giveaways. ❤️ #TorontoElection #TOpoli #Toronto
A flyer with info explaining how kids can vote for Tree of the Year during the Toronto municipal election. There are short candidate profiles for each tree.

Wow. This butterfly has seen things. #butterfly #bugs #photography
A monarch butterfly on a plant with purple flowers. The butterfly’s right wing has a ragged edge and a large piece of the wing is missing.

Swan says Lake Ontario. #LakeOntario
Even the swan knows it’s called Lake Ontario. The swan is swimming towards you, with the lake stretching out into the distance.

Still #LakeOntario. Always beautiful.
Lake Ontario, with the horizon in the middle of the image, so there is endless water across the bottom and endless sky across the top.

There's something poignant about the CBC airing the last Tragically Hip concert from 10 years ago tonight, on today of all days.

Out of office. #cottagelife #Canadiansummer #summer
Barrel with flowers and a Canadian flag, sitting at the end of a dock, with a lake and a far shore of green trees in the background and a blue sky with just a few white clouds above. A beautiful day.

Mother’s Day may have been last weekend, but it’s still Mother’s Day Month. 😃 It’s also a long weekend so my kid treated me to a wonderful afternoon tea at the AGO. Delish. #longweekend #VictoriaDay @agotoronto.bsky.social

Having cancer is neither brave or a fight. It is a cruel & unrelenting disease. You just have it. And your outcomes are because of the incredible medical treatments available. To state that someone bravely fought it implies that those that died were neither brave or fought hard enough. Stop this.

I love visiting @agotoronto.bsky.social. The art’s amazing, the building’s gorgeous, even looking out the window is inspiring.
Looking through a window at a winter scene of a city park, with a large tree in the foreground and tall buildings in the background. Photo is taken through a fine mesh window covering, creating a filtered effect that makes the photo appear as if it’s aged.

Just have to say how much I’ve enjoyed watching every video I’ve seen this week of a pet bouncing out the door only to be swallowed by the ridiculous piles of snow. 10/10, every single one.

A shop window with a ceramic cat, small wire ferris wheel (possibly for small plant pots), a cake, and a neon sign that says, “Do what you love.” There are trees reflected in the glass.

Was thinking that little hidey-hole would be a good place to stash a treasure, then got closer and saw that some small critter had apparently had the same thought. 🍎 #ThickTrunkTuesday
A thick tree trunk with a hole at the base near the ground. What could be inside?A closer shot of the base of the tree gives a clear view of the inside of the hole — which contains a shiny red apple in a ray of sunshine.

I may have gotten a little carried away at the farmers’ market this morning, but it was the first week for peaches so I couldn’t be expected to be capable of rational thought. #buylocal
A spread of fresh local fruit including cherries, wild blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, gooseberries, and peaches … plus zucchini and olive bread and sliced whole grain bread plus beeswax candles plus  a few of last weeks beets plus a small bowl of cherry tomatoes from the back deck that snuck in there somehow
