“Indian Summer” – Bike shadow on cobblestones, Liberty Market in Liberty Village, Toronto

What an unexpectedly beautiful day in Toronto. After work I headed to The Brazen Head Pub to meet up with my girlfriend and take in some of the Magenta Foundation’s Flash Forward Photography Festival taking place at 171 Liberty St in Liberty Village.

Along the way I stopped to snap this shot. You know winter is around the corner when the shadows are this long at 5:30 PM.

Today’s round counts as two: first and (likely) last of the summer.

Cheers to Ben, Chris and Kurt for making it happen.

“Blank Slate” – Wine tasting journal and a freshly opened bottle

Several years ago my girlfriend and I began keeping a journal of all the wines we try.

It’s not very professional or scientific – it wouldn’t impress a sommelier, but I find it very rewarding to be able to look back on several years worth of bottles and the meals and experiences they were paired with.

A while back a read a statistic that said 95% of the wine sold by the LCBO is consumed within two hours of purchase. And, in my opinion, likely forgotten within three.

To me this is a fun way to remember.

“Remnant” – Outline of a demolished house stains a building wall on King West near Niagara St, Toronto

I always enjoy finding these ‘building stains.’ It’s as though the demolished structure has gotten the last laugh and is thumbing it’s nose at the progress which deemed it expendable.
