When I first visited the Toronto neighbourhood of Wychwood Park at a friend's instigation, I was amazed by the beauty of Wychwood Park, with the decidedly creatively-shaped houses all surrounded by verdant... own another home in the Toronto Islands. CBC Radio 1 claimied this afternoon that his empty boat was found on the Islands, explaining why the police is now searching Toronto harbour for his body

Late in the afternoon and early in the evening, I was spending my time on the Toronto Islands ( City of Toronto page , Wikipedia ). They're beautiful, a direct consequence of the will of the inhabitants...to bring a camera, next time, that lets you take more, much more, than a dozen photos. In case you're wondering, it was a wonderful trip. Pictures will be up in the not-too-distant-at-all future.

My family and I are going to Centre Island tomorrow for Canada Day. Do you think we'll be able to see the Woodbine fireworks display well from there? I know Ontario Place has them too at 10:30 and I'm sure we'll be able to see those. Just curious about the other ones.

While waiting for the next ferry to the Toronto Islands with Jerry Sunday afternoon, we couldn't help but notice the very large Falun Gong protest outside the ferry terminal at the bottom of Bay...of organization I'd like to align myself behind, on the twinned grounds of practicality and their ethics. I like Descartes, Jerry too, and I'd prefer to not give either up since they work so nicely

Yesterday was a rather fine day. The afternoon was spent at Hanlan's Point Beach in the Toronto Islands with the boyfriend. Surprisingly, this was the first time in three years that I'd ever been... mawombat , fresh from her temporary base in Montréal, and various other interesting people El Convento Rico ( 750 College Street West ). The conversation was good; the nightclubbing, excellent

it was only when I when ransacking my archives that I discovered that I had last written about the Toronto Islands a year less two days before my Canada Day visit. This visit did nothing to convince... Imagine if, as I wrote in last year's post, that for whatever reason the Toronto Islands had been left to blur back into Lake Ontario.
