My Easter Island Maoi Statue Is Finally Complete. My First Carved Clay Figurine. Thanks To Keith And

A fun afternoon with my favourite 4-legged nephew, Carl @sdit_carl and his daddy Jake @jake_and_carl @jake.maurice. Started with training and playing in Gage Park. Then McDonald's for dinner, then a trip to Wal-Mart where I bought him a small toy. He was so good. We worked on his distraction training and he really improved a lot in just 1 afternoon. Smart puppy - and so damn cute. They are a great team already. He's almost 4 months. (Well, daddy is a bit more than 4 months old. Lol) We tried on a hotdog costume while at Wal-Mart.

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.

Canada goose Gosling at Bayfront Park. Mom and dad allowed me to get low and close, and also used my 200mm zoom to get this image. It's small despite the long shadow - nearing sunset. Hot 30+ C day but sunny. A nice simulation of summer. Even had an oldies cruise night next door at Pier 4. #hamont #discoverhamilton #bayfrontpark #canada150 #canadagoose (at Bayfront Park)

T-shirt made at Sitelines Introduction to Screenprinting program Monday night. Thanks to grants from the Ontario Trilluim @ontrillium Foundation, @centre3_ has been to put together various programs to help those who currently have or have had issues with mental health - often for free. I'm grateful for these #arttherapy programs. Interesting and fun An old and still often used saying of mine: "Not Bad for an Old Fart". Can be taken in multiple contexts.

Feeling rather crappy for the past few days. Figured I'd try some hiking and time outdoors which often helps get me out of my funk. Started with the Chedoke Radial Trail from the golf club to Scenic Dr and along the top of the escarpment to the 403 and back. Most of the falls along this stretch were dry or nearly so. Also there weren't any good jumping cliffs. Then, being slightly hazy/cloudy, thought we might get a good sunset so wandered over to Bayfront. Nice but not glorious. Nice enough to be out but none of it helped my mood. (at Chedoke Radial Trail) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFqPouhFUhv/?igshid=1o2896dlrllr8

June art crawl getting started. Roof band at Dr Disc on Wilson near James St N. #hamont #artcrawl #discoverhamilton #jamesstreetnorth (at DrDisc 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)

1 year ago, this cutie came to live with me permanently. Happy anniversary Luma. (at Hamilton, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpNguebBso1/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1mguu7e200p88

Spacey painting tonight as I resume art night Mondays at #sitelines #sitelinesopenstudio on James St N after a one month break. Nice to see everyone again. #arttherapy #centre3 (at Artforms)
