Weekend Trip to Stratford, Grand Bend and Pinery Prov. Parc

This sunny May weekend we went for a little trip to the shores of Lake Huron, visiting Stratford and St. Marys on the way.
We had a great time playing with Johann in the sand, taking long strolls on the beach and admiring nature in one of the most beautiful Provincial Parcs we've seeen so far. There are plenty more photos...

Jane's walk - Neighborhood walks in Toronto

Every first May week-end, neighborhood walks are offered in Toronto and a lots of cities all over the world. The idea is to learn about the history, the buildings, people and challenges which a neighborhood encounters over time. Albeit immigration-related, due to business decline or rise, or simply gentrification. You'll walk with other like-minded people in a stretch of the city eager to discover the foremost hidden parts of it. Here are some photos from our strolls....

Chasing Mr Racoon

Steph finally managed to shoot a photo of one of the essential parts of our back yard wild life (we're in Canada, eh!).
Mr. Raccoon in full daylight! I'm always mistaking our neighbors enormous cat for a racoon and I finally know why: this poor guy is not well "in shape" like his fellows but way too skinny.... maybe he didn't get enough delicacies from our garbage bin?

About the transience of time

At a recent professionel event this video was shown to make us think about our industry and what our environment will look like in 10 years or later... However, the clip doesn't focus on any particular industry but more on the information age we're living in and the increasing complexity of the world of tomorrow. Give it a try, I'm pretty sure it'll provide you with some new perspectives on our live - present and future.

Sunrise Easter Mass

We decided to get up early on Sunday morning (5:30 am) in order to attend a Sunrise mass. This remembered me of old times in my childhood where we would meet around the Easter fire to sing some songs together before heading over to the church and having a breakfast all together. The morning showed off all its' glory with a golden sun rising at the horizon just beside the skyline of Toronto. And the folks of "Martin Luther church" (you see, it's like a return to the sources) prepared an absolutely stunning (Canadian) breakfast afterwards. This being a wonderful prelude to the rest of the day...
