Oui, c’était pas mal mon point.

When I was growing up in Calgary I seem to recall the rainy June gloom tended to happen a bit later in the month. Is it getting earlier these days?

You are too kind sir - but much appreciated coming from the finest Saskatoon photographer I know of!

I always found it unusual how June is such a wet month for Calgary and parts of Alberta, I think it's the only place in the country where a summer month gets more precipitation than other months in the year and the trend isn't towards less precipitation as spring/summer progresses? Perhaps the same in the far north?

The grass in Victoria was turning yellow by mid-May here with 19.8 mm of rain for the month of April and only 2.2 mm for the month of May. And we only get trace amounts of rain in June, July and August. Would love a day or two of heavey rain right about now, but it won't happen

Good thing Toronto isn't prone to earthquakes!

Love weird little lots.

Do things like that predate a functional land titles system or is there another explanation?

Geometry had just been invented and was all the rage.

Here, houses being built today still predate a functional land title system.

That house actually looks like a face - you can almost hear the conversation:

"Never mind me, just gonna squeeze in here for a sec. Yah, no, I'm not setting up, just waiting for the next available spot, should only be here for a minute or two. Yah, just a bit more room fellas, can you scooch over a bit, I need to dry out my porch before I move on.."

Thanks for the Edmonton shot Coldsrx - would be nice to see more downtown Edmonton street and neighbourhood shots.

Some pics from last weekend.

/\ That lakefront boardwalk is nice. Next time I think I'll head to the Islands if I go end of May/early June and I'll rent a bike other there. Wouldn't want to do that downtown, but the Islands would be perfect for that. Nice pics of city and greenery, thanks for sharing Docere.

Thanks Zoomer.

I'm realizing from photo "tour" of the city that just because an area is interesting or vibrant doesn't mean they're necessarily great for photos. But these two areas I did on the weekend stand out for me. The Islands are a true treasure and amazing to have minutes from downtown. And I quite like walking around Old Town Toronto, very pleasant. St. James Park (next to the cathedral) might be my favourite downtown park.

Not sure where I'm headed next - might go to Riverdale.
