Splashdown

A ring-billed gull lands on the lake.

Ontario Place breakwater.

Nocturnal

With the days so short, I can't be afraid of the dark or intimidated by noise.

Walking Home

Single nature lovers wanted.

I wish I had taken this photo last night, five months later.

Chess

Things Past

This is an older photo, taken October 8, 2005. It was taken on a field trip with my mother, whom I miss very much.

Duck

Taking a few quiet moments down at the lake.

I can't post this photo without a link to the funniest cartoon I've read on the web:
What the Duck by Aaron Johnson.

Everyone Deserves Music

Another image of Michael Franti and Spearhead, taken with my little camera phone.

November 3, "Yell Fire!" U.S. Fall Tour, The Guvernment.

Yell Fire!

The sign on the door said "no professional cameras". This was taken by my camera phone -- a first for my blog.

Michael Franti and Spearhead, "Yell Fire!" U.S. Fall Tour, The Guvernment.

A big man who takes a big stand: Michael put on a great show. I was introduced to him about fourteen years ago, after my eldest brother played a spoken-word CD that the Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy provided musical backing to. I've been listening to him since, with solo CDs, Spearhead disks, and even a dog-chewed Hiphoprisy CD in my collection.

His latest album, "Yell Fire!" is a tremendous work and worth whatever it costs to buy.

Day of the Dead
