Mohawk College (my Old Alma Mater) Had A Big Presence At #Supercrawl With A Large Stage For Local Performers,

James St N artcrawl. Local artist Corey Weavers and thick crowds. Could easily justify closing off the street it's so busy, hard to walk around. #hamont #artcrawl #discoverhamilton #jamesstreetnorth #jamesstreetnorthartcrawl (at James St. North District)

I was on the balcony trying to cool off early this afternoon when I noticed 2 planes flying in formation. I almost immediately recognized them as the AVRO Lancaster and the Boeing B-29 Superfortress which were part of the Charity Airshow. I was thinking it sure would be nice if they flew overhead. After a long arcing curve over Stoney Creek and Burlington, to my surprise, they came back my way to the Hamilton airport. I rushed to grab my DSLR (though my cellphone would have been faster but poorer quality) and took some shots. These are a few of the better ones. The props aren't turning because they were about to drop out of the sky.

James St N artcrawl. Another talented local artist Celyn Church who makes wonderful stained glass lighthouse and panels - among other things. I'm pleased to say to bought one of her panels for the living room. @celynartsco #hamont #artcrawl #discoverhamilton #jamesstreetnorth #jamesstreetnorthartcrawl (at James Street North Art Crawl)

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)

My clay sculpting of an Easter Island Maoi (Rapa Nui) is hand-finished. Now to engrave some of the subtle artwork and paint it before firing. Main shaping and firing done at HARRRP, fine detail artwork will be done at home with Dremel tools. #arttherapy #harrrp #hamont (at HARRRP)

A work in progress. 2-3 hrs a week for several weeks. Great way to focus my attention. Image is rotated 90 degrees - bottom is on the left. A northern auroral scene. Still have to finish details on the auroras then add foreground features. "Miles to go before I rest". Inspired by the work of the talented NWT artist Robbie Craig. Done at Sitelines. #arttherapy #centre3 #sitelinesopenstudio #aurora (at Artforms)

Christ's Church Cathedral on James St N. Beautiful architecture and intricate detail. #hamont #jamesstnorth #discoverhamilton

If you get hungry at #Supercrawl, there are more than 35 food trucks at either end of James St N near the main stages. And lots of wonderful restaurants and bars in between. Fantastic selection of tastes, flavours and smells for any palate or dietary requirements. @Supercrawl #hamont #discoverhamilton #artcrawl #artwork #arthamilton #jamesstreetnorth #jamesstreetnorthartcrawl #foodie #foodtruck (at Hamilton Supercrawl)

#bellletstalk View and Share to raise awareness and money for mental health. Help reduce the stigma. (at Hamilton, Ontario)

Some lightning shots I got this evening. Was supposed to be a fairly big storm so I set up my camera to try and image it. It nearly passed me by completely. I did manage to capture a few of the cloud-to-cloud lightning as it was receding. None struck the earth from my view. Took a lot of shots to get 3 moderately decent images. Never did hear thunder #hamont #lightning #thunderstorm #photography (at Hamilton Mountain)
