Sunnybrook Park, Toronto – Autumn colours frame a rustic farmhouse beneath a brilliant blue sky. A timeless scene of seasonal beauty in one of Toronto’s most serene natural spaces.

A monarch butterfly pauses to sip nectar from a clover blossom in the Port Lands along Cherry Street, Toronto. The vibrant orange wings with their delicate black-and-white pattern stand out beautifully against the soft green background, capturing a fleeting summer moment in the city.

A quiet mid-November moment at Riverdale Farm — the wooden fences looping through the paddocks, the last of the autumn colour clinging to the trees, and the city feeling just a little slower for a minute.

One of the farm’s beautiful cows, caught mid-lick while resting in the leaves. A soft, peaceful moment that pairs with the wider paddock scene from Part I.

Silence spreads like a wordless prayer. The lake breathes slowly, as time dissolves along the line where water meets sky. Nothing asks for haste.

 

There is an invisible dialogue between she and the horizon – a conversation that needs no sound, only presence. The tree, stripped of its leaves, understands. It bends with the wind but stands tall, holding secrets that winter cannot erase.

 

The bench is not just a place to rest but a space where thoughts drift lightly, dancing between what is and what once was. Solitude, here, does not weigh heavy. It spreads like light over the water, turning every absence into a poem.

 

At the lake’s edge, what feels missing becomes whole.

 

***

 

O silêncio se espalha como uma prece sem palavras. O lago respira devagar, enquanto o tempo se dissolve na linha onde a água encontra o céu. Nada pede pressa.

 

Há um diálogo invisível entre ela e o horizonte – uma conversa que não precisa de som, apenas de presença. A árvore, despida de folhas, entende. Ela se curva com o vento, mas permanece de pé, guardando segredos que o inverno não apaga.

 

O banco não é só um lugar de descanso, mas um espaço onde pensamentos flutuam leves, dançando entre o agora e o que já foi. A solidão, aqui, não pesa. Ela se espalha como luz sobre a água, transformando cada ausência em um poema.

 

Na margem do lago, o que falta se torna inteiro.

This little guy looked rather lost and not entirely healthy, I feared he may have been abandoned and having a hard time, but then the second pup appeared and seemed considerably healthier so presumeably this first pup was just a bit runty. I was later told by a fellow early morning hiker that she had observed 4 pups and the mum was close by .... so all's well.

Cranefly (Tipula lateralis?) - Rouge Park, Toronto

 

Most crane flies were described by the entomologist Charles Paul Alexander, a fly specialist, in over 1000 research publications. He described over 11,000 species and genera of flies, which translates to approximately a species description a day for his entire career. Hats off!!

These balanced stone formations appeared overnight last week on Toronto's Humber River, at Etienne Brule park named after the explorer, the first white man to explore what is now part of Toronto's heritage. They were not there on Sunday, August 1, 2010 and appeared the next day to everyone's awed amazement. Hats off to the artist for not only a superb and unique work of art but also for his work becoming the talk of the town for a good part of the week. More pictures to come.

Interacting with a second adult perched about 6ft above. The upper bird made a move and this hapless individual basically fell off his perch.

A greyscale shot for a grey December day. Taken at Cherry Beach. Just too cute in the way they hopped towards me and away and back.

A screenshot, so to speak, of the twitter account I set up to use while instructing the F09 iteration of ENVS 1010c: The Natural History of the Greater Toronto Area at York University.

 

I've written some reflections on using Twitter in the classroom.

 

Sadly, this course will never be offered again.

I love nature and being near water!
