Happy Thanksgiving! Enjoying these beautiful fall colours, a bit south of Ottawa today, with family. #HappyThanksgiving #Thanksgiving

A nature scene as viewed through a kitchen window. A blue heron glides over a pond. In the foreground is a tall maple tree with leaves that have turned a vibrant array of red and orange. It is Canadian Thanksgiving weekend and all present are thankful for the beautiful fall colours here.

Very true! Especially with upright structures. In @wabisabitom.bsky.social’s underground shots it’s due to the speed of the trains flying through and warping the walls. I’m pretty sure, anyhow. 🤔😊

Cycling is the present, and, even more so, the future. Meanwhile in Toronto, the Premier of the province is forcing the removal of bike lanes. If we want to move ahead we need more support for cycling, not less. #cycleTO #bikesky
