torch

The Olympic Torch has been running a relay through the country and on the weekend, it blew though my city. Quickly, quickly, it has a long way to go to get to Vancouver in time!

MyWorldTuesday

and... at 4:17 today, as I was posting this, I had my 4,000th visitor! WELCOME one and all and thank you for visiting and for all your encouraging comments! (especially as this particular shot is not one of my best, but he was running!)

I look out the window sometimes to seek the color of the shadows and the different greens in the trees, but when I get ready to paint I just close my eyes and imagine a scene.

lcbo1

In Ontario, if you want to buy liquor, you must make your way to a government run Liquor Control Board Of Ontario, or LCBO, store. You can buy wines at individual wineries, but if you want wines and spirits of the world, this is where you shop. This local LCBO in downtown Burlington is housed in what has variously been used as a fire hall, a post office and a jail.

The pigeons find it a particularly delectable spot.lcbo tower
