Random lady last winter, downtown.
I was down by the Union Station/Royal York Hotel and was taking pictures in the area. I snapped this picture of this very interesting lady.

This hotel I've "never" visited and don't want to.
This is the Don Jail in downtown Toronto and this section is actually closed now but still standing. They did hang prisoners here back in the 1950’s but not anymore. I think it is called a historic site now but not sure why.

Chateau Frontenac Quebec City, Quebec
Whenever I go the Winter Carnival in Quebec City I always stay at this famous hotel on the banks of the St. Lawrence river. It looks like a castle and is part of the chain that was built across Canada many years ago by the Canadian Pacific Railway. It is now operated by the Canadian Company Fairmont Hotel which have resorts all around the world and they operate out of Toronto.

Toronto streetcar and no snow still, December...
Here’s a streetcar and if you can believe it we still don’t have any snow yet and it’s the end of December 2009. Just a couple hours north of Toronto in Bracebridge last week they got 4 FEET of snow in one night but nothing here yet.
We had no snow in November either and it’s the first time in 174 years that we had no snow in the month of November. But it is cold enough...

What the heck is that?
Well actually it’s a snow/ice melter. It’s about the size of a tractor trailer and they scoop snow/ice into it’s belly and it melts it all and the water pours out into the street drain. We don’t use it a lot in Toronto anymore but they loan it to our friends in Buffalo who get hit 10 times harder than us each winter. Toronto has two of them and we haven’t had to use...
Monarch butterfly
One of my favorites.
Captured this about 6 months ago while driving through the city. I’ve always loved those and got a chance to get one up real close.

Wow this is fun once you get the hang of it and I think I’m almost at that point but got a whole bunch to learn. Still don’t know what embedding is but think it might be just for video? Here’s a downtown Hotel, The Harbour Castle Westin right on the lakefront.

Ok I think I got it now.
Just new here, still learning.
I’m trying to do the embedding but not really sure if it’s necessary or really what it is? It seems I can just put pics in here with the link from photobucket.
If anyone knows let me know what embedding is and how I can do it? By the way it’s not a spaceship it’s our City Hall in downtown with a nice skating rink like Rockefeller Center.

Olympic torch run hits Toronto
It’s actually the Olympic Torch run that passed through Toronto last week and it was delayed because of an Indian land claim protest.
That’s what is great about Canada/USA, we allow protest and dissent which makes our countries the best in the world.
The Olympics start in February 2010 in Vancouver and we can hardly wait for those GOLD metals. Go Canada Go….
