This is Midnight. She’s kept me busy the last few days. We just got her on Friday or I should say we finally picked her out and brought her home very early Saturday morning and it’s been a whirlwind few days devoted to puppy and getting puppy supplies.

Snap Dragon that is … This is a pretty little annual flower that I don’t even have to plant anymore. It reseeds itself very well in my garden and each spring and early summer many little seedlings come up in areas that they’d been growing the year before. Snap! It’s that easy!

A beautiful Balloon Flower. This photo was taken in September as you can probably tell from the autumn like lighting and colors. This flower is normally a cross between blue and purple but as the weather cools the color purple reigns.

This is a shot of the sign for The Venetian Hotel. This hotel houses the Tao nightclub where we had our Bl0ggers Choice awards, Madame Tousades and a number of other great restaurants, shows and features. The building is huge! At the base of this building, right below TAO there’s a huge body of water [...]
This was an advertisement for the Phantom of the Opera outside the Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas. Being from Toronto and having worked downtown forever I’m quite used to the Phantom logs since it played in Toronto at the Pantegenes (now the Canon Theatre) for about a decade!

I’m back from Vegas! Most of the photos I (or my husband who stole my camera) took in Vegas are of the fellow bloggers that we got together with. Since I don’t normally post photos of people on this site I’m not sure they’re all that appropriate. I do have some cool shots though so [...]
This is another photo of the sun setting on Toronto over Lake Ontario. This photo was taken in late August while on a dinner boat on Lake Ontario. Simply gorgeous.

Bee Balm is lovely in the garden and it attracts butterflies and I believe Hummingbirds. Unfortunately every good flowering plant eventually dies down in my Zone 5b Toronto garden. This is the seed head of the perennial Bee Balm. The plant renews itself each year, but it’s seed head helps ensure that the plant is [...]
Yonge Street, Downtown Toronto. I love the look of Yonge street in downtown Toronto. Most of the businesses, banks and shops have been created inside old buildings that are often quite old. I think it gives downtown Toronto quite a unique look. Related Reading: The Seven Lamps of Architecture Case Logic TBC-302 Ultra Compact Camera [...]
I took this photo at the end of August while on a dinner boat cruise on Lake Ontario. Obviously the sun was setting and the scene was lit in the warm glow of the fading rays of the sun. So beautiful. I love Toronto. Today, I’ll be flying directly over the CN Tower and Rogers [...]
If only all weeds were so lovely as this common Ontario Musk Mallow. This plant also goes by the name Malva moschata L, and like the Malva Sylvestris that I posted a short while ago this plant,too, is a relation of the Hollyhock. This plant produces pretty pink flowers several times each summer in my [...]
We Will Rock You was playing at the Canon Theater over the summer and outside the theatre above the marquee there was a huge statue of Freddy Mercury. This of course is a photo of that statue. Freddy Mercury always was bigger than life. Related Reading: A text-book of the history of architecture Case Logic [...]
Another great day at the beach. Everyone was having a great time playing Volleyball on Toronto’s Woodbine Beach. A lovely day to remember as the weather begins to get cool and gloomy.

This pretty pink bloom is of a Tiffany Rose. I’ve grown this rose for about four years in my garden and this past summer it did better than it ever did growing taller than it had in the past and produced more blooms. I believe I’d moved it slightly the year before and I think [...]
I love the look of this Hard Rock Cafe at Dundas Square. A long time ago when I was a jeweler I used to work in the building just down the street from it, so I’m very familiar with the inside and outside of this local landmark. Don’t miss a single post from this site [...]
Malva sylvestris ‘Zebrina’ aka Striped Mallow A relation to the hollyhock family this short lived perennial happily reseeds itself each year so I never had to worry that if the winters harsh the former plant won’t grow the following season as I know it’s seedlings will. Plenty of them. I grow this gorgeous plant at [...]
