Once we deepen our ties with the EU these will be the only two car choices

An ultra adorable Fiat Topolino in southern France, which is a teeny tiny car with 12 inch wheels that seats two people. It has a very pale bluish green paint job, black roof, and a small luggage rack on the trunk

I just discovered this in a box last week. Maybe it's a sign

Are we sure he was a squid?

A flat head of cabbage split in half such that it looks suspiciously like Squidward's head

Hi from calico cousin, Midge. They've got matching mittens and boots

A calico cat sits upright on a wooden kitchen counter. Her front paws are small white mittens and her back paws are tall white boots. She has golden brown eyes, a pink nose, and white fur on her neck and belly

Two good ones each from Midge and Maud

Midge, a calico cat with a white chest, making the hugest little yawn with her pink tongue rolled up in her mouth. She looks like she's belting out the big ending to Whitney Houston's version of I Will Always Love You

Midge the calico cat giving another huge little yawn. She is mostly in shadow with directional light lighting up her whiskers. This one looks like a big lion roar

Maud, a shorthaired grey cat with a white diamond on her chest, gives a big yawn while lying on the floor. Her white teeth and pink tongue are lit up bright by the sun

Maud the grey cat gives the big life of luxury yawn that only cats can do while lounging in the bright afternoon sun on a fuzzy white blanket like the queen she is

No matter your opinion of them, it's pretty hard to argue that Aperol spritzes don't look super refreshing

I went a surprisingly long way down this thread with no mention of these fine fellows - outside of a Scott reference

Scotia Square Abstractions 📷 #photography #halisky

Looking square into the front of Scotia Square on Duke Street. There are many layers and textures of warm coloured concrete. A small gap of sky peeks through between it and the new building next door

A claustrophobic jumble of buildings with Scotia Square butting up against the next building. Warm textured concrete up against blue glass and black metal railings

Looking across the street at Scotia Square from the Metro Centre at a slight angle. The sun draws long shadows across the warm coloured concrete

Looking straight on at the front of Scotia Square showing many stacked layers. The leaves from the tops of two trees poke into the phot from below

The MVA already allows cyclists to pass on the right 'if it is safe to do so'. Will the new bits just be more specific? Maybe I'm missing something

Section 114 (2) of the Nova Scotia Motor Vehicle Act that reads:

"Notwithstanding Section 85 and clause (1)(a), a cyclist operating on the far right side or the right-hand shoulder of the roadway may pass to the right of the overtaken vehicle if it is safe to do so."

One last bunch looking at the poplar trees. These ones, especially, look painted to me. The edge lighting on the trunks and branches make it look like brush strokes in some spots. 📷 #photography #abstract #impressionism #flowers

The green leaves along the tops of some poplar trees blow erratically in the wind. The sky behind them is a solid, pale blue

A very abstract and swirly picture of green leaves from poplar trees blowing in the wind. The leaves range from dark to light green and the sky is a very pale blue

The grey trunks and green leaves of some poplar trees blowing in the wind. The bright white highlights on the trunks and branches look like the edges of painted brushstrokes

The extreme wind we had for the previous two days let me do some abstract impressionism with the flowers, trees, and seagrass. Fun stuff 📷 #photography #abstract #impressionism #flowers

Wispy yellow goldenrods buffeted by the wind

Small low lying purple flowers are blurred against the grass as both sway in the wind

I'm not much of a flower photographer, but this is likely the prettiest one I've taken 📷 #photography

Dozens of small yellow flowers on thin spindly pale green stems. There is a soft evening light lighting up pockets of the flowers

Our friend's family homestead has the world's most adorable barn

The gable end of a tall 140 year old barn covered in corrugated metal siding. Hanging on the side of the barn is a six foot tall red smiley face. The small sliding door into the barn is also red

The long side of the barn showing it's corrugated metal roof and side. There is a giant Canadian flag on the side. The red rectangles on the flag are the barn's doors. It sits high on a green hill

Looking at one corner of the barn showing the long and short sides. On the end of the barn is a red smiley face wearing a hat and a bow tie. There is a giant Canadian flag on the side of the metal corrugation

A little beachcombing in the rain yesterday The small sandbar gets revealed as the tide moves out. It is typically owned by a gaggle of a dozen or so cormorants and other seabirds 📷 #photography

The silhouettes of three far away people on a tiny sliver of land stuck out into the ocean. The sky is all silvery mist and the watery is all gray speckles from the rain. There are some hints of the opposite shore through the mist

Gary Larson beat you by a few decades

Full Moon Lemonade - if it's going to hide behind the clouds, let's find other interesting stuff to shoot 📷 #photography

Looking across a large dark expanse of grass after midnight towards the ocean. The full moon glows warmly behind a thin blanket of clouds. A dim light from inside a seacan cottage illuminates a patch of grass

A small black seacan cottage looks across the water under a thin blanket of clouds. Two windows are lit by dim yellow light

Ah, darn. That may leave us under or flat. I see bridge data on the IMP dashboard starting in mid-2023, but there were issues with its installation. Not sure of Dan's policy on retroactive changes if he started reporting it last year. This graph shows June 26 slightly under 25 - so likely not
