James St N artcrawl. Mulberry St Band is in fine form. Playing a mix of covers, rock and some jazz. #mulberrystreetband #hamont #artcrawl #discoverhamilton #jamesstreetnorth #jamesstreetnorthartcrawl (at Mulberry Street Coffeehouse)
Hmm. Got up late this morning and found out No Hot Water in the apartment. I saw a plumbing truck outside so figured it would be fixed shortly. Hours later still not avail. Called super and she had posted a notice downstairs this morning that the tank had a crack - not particularly helpful. No Hot Water today or tomorrow. So I guess it's sponge baths in the kitchen sink ( washing the sink before and after). So I may not be as April (or June) fresh as I normally would be. Lol. #nohotwater #apartmentliving #coldshave #spongebath (at Hamilton Mountain)
Taking my temporary roommate out for a walk on a nice Sun afternoon in her stylish harness and leash. She's still not used to the outdoors since she's only been outside about a half dozen times. But she immediately took to tree climbing her first time. She met her first dog (little lap dog) today and it was a peaceful and drama-free encounter. Sadly i only have her for 2 more weeks before she goes home. Despite scratches on me and furniture, I'm going to miss her. #kitten #kittenwalk #treeclimbing (at Hamilton Moutain,)
A couple of quiet hours at Cherry Hill Gate and the Grindstone Marsh area of Royal Botanical Gardens. Sunny and pleasant temps. Had fun with some friendly critters. Photos from my phone camera. But they also didn't mind the DSLR when I pulled it out. @rbgcanada #cherryhillgate #grindstonemarsh #rbg #hiking #enjoyingnature (at Royal Botanical Gardens) https://www.instagram.com/p/BohxUcxB_Qx/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=jx0v5gyimyma
Orion Nebula - the middle "star" in Orion's sword in the same constellation. A favourite target for all astro-photographers because of its colours and size. It is fairly easy to image without overly fancy equipment. It can even be seen with moderately good binoculars. #orionnebula #astronomy #amateurastronomy #cherrysprings (at Cherry Springs State Park)
Got my flu shot today at my local Rexall Pharmacy. Quick and easy. Helps to protect me and others. Now available at most pharmacies and doctors offices across Ontario.

Finally decided I'm finished an art piece I had been working on a few hours a week for about 8 or 9 months. #sitelines #artforms #centre3 #hamont #arttherapy #winterart I got to the point where every time I tried to fix a line, I'd mess up another. I realized I can't improve on it with my limited skills. Lol I wise person told me (@titaniumchild ) that "art is done when you feel it is finished, not when it's perfect. If you wait for perfect, it will never be completed." But it was a learning experience. I have progressed a fair bit from when I started. And it was a good mindful activity to keep me focused for a few hours each week. (at Artforms) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnAF99_nqfX/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=7n4k5thda39e
