Remembrance Day

No work today - but attended the Remembrance Day ceremony at Queen's Park. Once in a while comes a day when it is difficult to choose just 1 photo for Project 365. This is one of those days.

Office Bingo

Played office BINGO today all for United Way. Was waiting for hours for my last 2 remaining numbers to be called - but it never came. Too bad...

View from a Balcony

For the nth time, I will be starting PROJECT 365. This time I am doing it with a friend (or friends) - and we are starting on January 1, 2012 - but we are "sort of" practicing now.

For a while (a year maybe!) this blog has stayed dormant. Looking forward to its revival - if only for my friend's sake!
Nov 9, 2011 - A nice way to start this project with a sunrise view from a Glamorgan balcony.

p.s. I just might change this blog's "skin" - no matter how much it hurts...

Casa Loma, Toronto

It is a such a pity that Casa Loma is seldom suggested as a tourist destination for any of our guests. The place is a beauty to behold, constructed as a neo-romantic castle with 98 rooms and costing $3.5 million to complete in 1911 - it is a dream home.

Due to its unique architectural character in Toronto, Casa Loma has been a popular location for movies and TV. It has served as a location for movies such as X-Men, Strange Brew, Chicago, The Tuxedo, and The Pacifier. It was also temporarily transformed into "Hogwarts" for the release of the 7th Harry Potter book.

Buttercups

If you think it is easy to take photos of these buttercups - think again. Actually, most flowers are difficult to shoot - but these buttercups are my favorite - yet I have not taken a really good one.
