High Park, Toronto

We went to Toronto last weekend to do some bird watching. We were hoping to meet up with a Flickr contact but that didn’t work out.

While wandering around High Park Anne spotted these cabbages.

Normally they would have been done in November but with this weather they are still hanging in.

I have seen those ornamental cabbages, but that leafy purple one just might have to come to my garden in the spring.

And where the HECK have you been?

One of the interesting yet unadvertised sites in Newfoundland is the folded rocks near Port aux Port. You have to ask locals exactly where they are and how to get to them but it is worth the effort. This formation is also called the Faults & Folds of West Bay Beach. "The folds of rock are related to the churning tectonic activity that gave rise to the earth's mantle hundreds of millions of year ago." For scale I am about 6 feet tall.

My Cat is Stranger Than Your Cat

Okay this is weird; I’ll give you that right up front. We got Maggie from an animal shelter so we don’t know her background. We have found out that, if you don’t latch the bathroom door securely, Maggie will come crashing in to visit. She promptly climbs into your pants and makes herself comfortable. Now I don’t normally take a camera into the bathroom, however, this is regular thing with Maggie so, now you know the story. Sam, the black cat wants to know what Maggie is doing. Sam seemed quite upset over the blow to feline superiority.
