Toronto by DeWiel

During my day-to-day work as a realtor I bring my camera along on 'house calls' and keep my eyes open for unexpected visual delights and surprises in the streets, parks, laneways and other out of the way places in downtown Toronto.

It's elemental, dear Watson. Drafty and cold in winter, hot in summer

Sharing heritage seeds or exchanging surplus seeds for others you want to plant has become an annual tradition. It's a great way to anticipate the changing of the season.

Prince of snow mountain

Valentine

Snow remembers
ice beneath
its white blanket

an hour ago, blue crunch
underfoot,
now slippery with water,
still snow, but different,
just as we are the same
yet different after all these years
as one

We put on our big white winter
boots with the rubber soles,
water repellent, excited as skaters
expecting Zamboni

Where there is love there is hope

Soft eyes kiss away this world amiss-
love only
