Imagine this more pink and more blue.
Camera phone sucks. 🙃
#Toronto #Photography #Dusk
View of Toronto skyline at sunset. There are dramatic looking clouds stretching away from the last pink glow of the sun, now sun below the horizon. The sky is still pale blue as dusk falls. The city is varying shades of silvery grey. There is a bit of window frame reflected darkly on the right.

Aww, bubbiss! 🥰🥹
And lookit that paw! So fuzzy!
Close-up of Dougie's hind right paw, sticking up. The white guard hairs are extra long, contrasted against the dark grey blanket, and look like little rays of gossamer forming a halo around a marshmallow and pink jellybean confection.

I like how sunrise and moonset, and, sunset and moonrise are so close together for these few days.
Very satisfying. 😌💅

After my echocardiogram and ECG this afternoon.
#Toronto #Photography #Downtown
Up-angle shot of skyscrapers. One is the colour of copper, one short one is mid-century brutalist concrete. Some other shorter ones are older, classic stone. A bright white steel one with its windows in dark, uniformly-spaced horizontal stripes, rises in the centre, middle height, with the BMO (Bank of Montreal) logo at its top. The street at ground level is coolly dim, as if it's a rainy day, but looking up, the sky is clear blue, and bright with winter sunlight. Wreaths of steam rising from the BMO building blazes brightly in the sun.

Also, full moon tonight
#Toronto #Photography #Dusk
View of cars sitting at an intersection waiting for the red light to change. Behind them in the pale twilight sky is the full moon, newly risen, looking the same size and brightness as the streetlights. On the left side of the street is a modern, low-rise apartment building. On the right side of the street is a massive tree with a really cool silhouette. A blue, hi-viz street sign and a smaller, white, classic-style street sign each say Logan Avenue. There is a thin crust of frozen snow on the sidewalk. A poor resolution photo of the full moon, zoomed in. Streetcar lines intersect the sky, and some tree branches poke into frame as if to say, "hey, hi, hello." The picture is pretty, despite the poor quality.

Introduce yourself with four spaceships
Starship Enterprise, NCC-1701-D View of ship's bow, slightly from below its large disc, and the smaller body with the warp nacelles on upswept wings on either side. The ship is orbiting a dark blue planet as dawn breaks from behind. Interior of the Ninth and Tenth Doctors' TARDIS. A centre console rises from a metal grid dais, above a matching platform. Its dashboard glows like pale green glass, and a column of clear glass tubes rises above. Black cables hang from the ceiling and attach to the central column. Everything has golden, honeyed hues, from the room's branching pillars and the console's framework, to the domed walls with the honeycomb light modules. U.S.S. Discovery, NCC-1031 Starship is viewed from above, showing its large disc with a broad outer ring, and its flat, delta-shaped body, with sharp, sleek, warp nacelles on either side. Background is starry, dark blue to light purple space. Interior of the Thirteenth Doctor's TARDIS. Two circular platforms lead up to the centre dais where the console is. The platforms are dark and slightly glossy, with glowing amber details. The risers also glow amber. Around the central console are six amber pillars rising from blue-lit bases, like crystal fingers, bent protectively over the console. On the side of each knuckle is a black gear hinge with a glowing blue sprocket. The console's central column is in two parts; a stalagmite, and a stalactite, also amber crystal. The console's framework is an organized jumble of wires. The domed walls rise up to a convex drop ceiling, both of which are constructed of dark, blue-lit, concave honeycombs of varying sizes.

Ha! That's so cool!
Come visit me, and you can see Lake Ontario from my window!

There's a nice boardwalk along the Beach. It's my favourite neighbourhood.
View of Lake Ontario at sunrise. The Lake is a pastel teal, the sun a blazing, coppery pink blob on the horizon, spreading pink light in the sky below a thick band of pastel blue cloud, the sky above that showing clear and pale yellow pink. A white, low-rise condo near the shoreline gleams pallid in the cool light, surrounded by dim autumn trees.

Eli loves hair clips, so I gave him one when the spring rusted out.

He's doing so much better this past week, and has fully recovered from his bad reaction to the gabapentin dose last week.

Good morning, Dougie! 💖

Slightly blurry photo of Eli, a tuxedo cat in three-quarter profile facing right. His closer, right eye is open, his further, left eye is winking. A good portion of his tongue is sticking out in a glorious blep.

This is Mimi, sister of Eli, who got sick very suddenly, and left too soon, a year ago, April.

We still miss her.

It is hard to tell from just a video, but I assume you could see far better than what could be shown:
Does this match with what you saw?

Some pictures from my window and balcony from earlier today.
The snow has started to melt.

View of heavy eastern clouds over Lake Ontario, clearing up to the right side (west). A bright, white mid-rise condo sits almost at the horizon, contrasting starkly against the grey. View of brightly lit southern clouds over Lake Ontario, the sun high overhead, reflecting in a blaze off the water. The sky is bright blue, and industrial buildings near the horizon are shadowy in the brightness.

That's quite the ratio there, Sport.

But of course this won't lead to any reflection as to WHY.

If my excitement over the arrival of snow is any indication, I love winter WAY more than summer! 🤩😍

Yes, I am aware that this first snow will not last the week, but that it's so thick on the season's first fall, is giving me some Childhood Magic Whimsy joy. 💖🥰🌲✨️
Balcony view of where Toronto skyline ought to be, but is obscured by heavy overcast and snowfall. Balcony railing and a potted cosmos are laid with snow, as are rooftops and trees beyond. There is no snow on the anti-pigeon netting as yet.
