Photo a Day - Toronto

First, puppies.  One of these boys will become part of our family in a little over two weeks.  Are they adorable or what??

Dusk at the lake, complete with the ever present storm clouds on the horizon.  Our summer skies have been unsettled these past few days.

And some random shots from an afternoon walk around Toronto a few weekends ago.

Summer Skies

The air feels heavy this time of year.  It settles on you like a blanket, equal parts comforting and oppressive.  It's hot and humid. 

And wonderful.

That a place like this - that sees such extreme cold in the winter - can feel so tropical, if only for a short time, is an amazing thing.

Lush and green, with unsettled skies as thunderstorms threaten to roll in. 

Those winters make us appreciate these summers that much more.

First Snow

This shift in weather was a subtle thing.  Rainy days, sunshine.  Mild days, cold nights. Waking up to morning frost on the rooftops.

And this morning, snow.

It's not much, but it's enough snow to make me think of hot chocolate, gingerbread, peppermint, and Christmas decorations.  And Christmas cards.  

Which leads to thinking about photos for the Christmas cards.  I have to confess that it's been a few years since I mailed anyone a Christmas card, but I have resolved to change that this year.  I contributed to a post at Shutterfly recently about holiday card photos.  You can read it here:
