Very interesting morning touring the Scottish Rite Masonic Temple facility at King W and Queen S. Home to 8 of 30 area lodges. They held in open house today in celebration of the official Freemason's foundation 300 years ago, though their may be ties going back further. A lot of history. Very open and friendly bunch. Did a nice job of dispelling many of the "secrets" associated with being a mason. #hamont #discoverhamilton #openhouse #scottishrite #myfreehamilton #300thanniversary #freemasons (at The Scottish Rite Club of Hamilton)

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)
Out for a hike in the pre-Spring-like weather and seeing some old friends. Nice to be feeding the black capped chickidees, the downy woodpeckers and nuthatches. Sadly the cardinals, sparrows and red-winged blackbirds were less sociable.
Interesting that there is a pecking order (pun intended) in who feeds first. Both the chickidees and the woodpeckers. In the case of the chickidees, size seems the determining factor. In the case of the woodpeckers, the females control the pace.
Also a nice gathering of Canadian Geese, Trumpeter Swans and Mallard Ducks. I think though they were protesting all the tourists.

Big tray of macaroni pie ready for the oven. A trini dish my ex taught me to cook. I still enjoy hot spicy foods. This is a nice light snack - spice-wise. Macaroni elbows, onion, green onion, chilli/cayenne pepper, hot trini peppers, grated cheese, eggs, salt, pepper, evap milk - and secret trini seasoning. About a hour to prepare and 30 min to cook. #trinifood #macaronipie #goodfood #spicyfood #toospicyforyou (at Hamilton Mountain)
My Easter Island Maoi statue is finally complete. My first carved clay figurine. Thanks to Keith and Cathy at HARRRP pottery for their help and suggestions. Turned moderately well. @harrrp #harrrp #arttherapy #pottery #claysculpture #maoi (at HARRRP)
