PESO - Saturday Afternoon Treat

[frank theriault]

This weekend was very warm for early March, with temps in the high
teens Celsius (maybe into the 50s F?).

The streets were teeming and this ice cream shop on Roncesvalles
Avenue in Toronto was doing a brisk business, including this lady:

PESO - Fun on Ice

[frank theriault]

A rare (for me) flash shot, but I found that the 1600ISO that my K10D
gives me is about 2 stops less than I needed for any action shots at
the Ice Race.

Here's Raymond again, showing the spirit of the thing, having a great time:

PESO - Toronto Crew, After Shop 'til you Drop Alleycat

[frank theriault]

So here's the Toronto Crew - certainly not all of, but most of the
"hardcore messengers" in Toronto, after their annual Shop 'til you
Drop Charity Alleycat race.

An alleycat is an unsanctioned, illegal street race with no rules.
Except that you have to prove you stopped at certain checkpoints along
the route that you choose. For this race the checkpoints were
supermarkets and the racers proved their checkpoint by purchasing a
specified food product and showing it and the receipt at the finish.

They raised over $700 of food for local foodbanks. Then we went to the
nearest firehall (they accept food bank donations) and we dropped the
food. Then a group shot:

http://mondociclismo.blogspot.ca/2016/01/toronto-crew-after-shop-til-you-drop.html

It was not bright, my K10D only goes up to ISO1600, so this isn't the
sharpest shot, but I think the satisfaction shows through.

Hope you enjoy. Comments welcome.

cheers,

frank

PESO - Night Skating

[frank theriault]

This is the same rink at Toronto's Ryerson University that I showed
the other day, only about 2 hours later. The photos on the glass wall
disappear due to backlighting. And the rest of the building shines
brightly, changing from blue to yellow to green to red. It's a lovely
place for an evening skate:

Re: PESO - Birthday Boy - A Street Portrait

Yeah. I think maybe I should have left it in colour. He was all red

Thanks for the comment, Ann.

PESO - The Kings of Kensington

[frank theriault]

Toronto bike messengers had their annual Holiday Food Drive Charity
Alleycat Race this past weekend. They ride to supermarkets, pick up
food items and try to get to the finish line first. If they miss an
item or supermarket, they're disqualified.

This year the finish was in Kensington Market, and Kyle, who finished
second, was all smiles. In the background is a statue of the late
Canadian actor Al Waxman, whose most famous role was the titular
character in the long-running series ~The King of Kensington~:

No raspberries were harmed in the taking of this photo.

Hope you enjoy. Comments welcome.

Re: PESO - Seaplanes and City

[frank theriault]

If those are Harbour Air float planes, we use them all the time for
shipping stuff to Vancouver Island and up the coast. They're great to
work with. And they have the world's largest fleet of float planes.

Cool shot. You are the master of the fisheye.

:-)

cheers,

frank

Re: PESO - The Protestor

[frank theriault]

Hi Ann,

I am quite certain that's a coyote. They look a lot like German
Shephards - at least facially.

Here's a Coyote that lives in the lakeside park near my place:

http://knarfdummyblog.blogspot.ca/2015/02/coyote-beautiful.html

Coyotes are often grey or brown.

According to:

http://www.respectforanimals.co.uk/facts-and-reports/statistics/103/

47,340 is the total number of coyote pelts (presumably combined trap
and ranched) that Canada "produced" in 2,009, the last year reliable
figures were available.

As for the composition, thanks for your thoughts. I have many more
that are wider, I felt that the tight shot on this one added impact.

I'll post another one tonight. Perhaps you'll like that one more.  :-)

Thanks for taking the time to comment!

cheers,

frank

PESO - The Protestor

[frank theriault]

As we walked downtown yesterday we saw a bunch of police cars in front
of Holt's, a very upscale department store. An animal rights group was
protesting fur in general, but also the fact that Holt's sells it:

I'll likely have a gallery later in the week, but until then, this
kind of sums it up:

http://knarfinthecity.blogspot.ca/2015/11/the-protestor.html

Fur trim on parkas and coats is unfortunately seeing a resurgence
around these parts. I'll keep political thoughts to myself.

Hope you enjoy. Comments welcome.

PESO - Diabolique

[frank theriault]

I know, it's a moribund plant, and the hooked spikes aren't there to
hurt anyone, they're there to become inextricably entwined with our
sweaters and other woollies, so we spread the seeds.

Looks evil to me though, especially with the webs and dead insects:

Comments welcome. Hope you enjoy.

Cheers,

PESO - The Wall (apologies to J.P. Sartre)

I was looking for something to submit to November PUG (because how
could I miss On Two Wheels?). I decided not to go with this one, but
thought it might be worth sharing. Hope you're not getting sick of BMX
shots. This Jeremy kid is good:

PESO - Follow my Lead

[frank theriault]

I said I'd have several murals this week. I'm stopping at two as the
rest don't rate - even by my low standards.

But here's two parts of a jazz quartet I recently came upon.Love the
way the bass player seems to be waiting for a visual cue from the horn
player:

PESO - Bunny on the Beach

[frank theriault]

I was on a very narrow, muddy beach at a cove on the Lake when I heard
an unusual noise behind me. Turned around and there's this little guy:

http://knarfdummyblog.blogspot.ca/2015/10/bunny-on-beach.html

He stood stock still for several seconds. I crouched to get a better
angle and he flinched so I stopped. Fired off a few shots and then he
skittered off into some brush. Watched me warily for several seconds
and went deeper into the brush, and that was it.

One doesn't often see rabbits in broad daylight in the open like that.

I hesitated showing this because I wish it were sharper (I think
autofocus locked on to some grass or something) but I guess this will
do. Very enjoyable memory for me!

Hope you enjoy. Comments welcome.

cheers,

frank

You have every right to be angry, Paul. That sucks large.

Feel free to take it out on the world. Do whatever you need to do so

Re: OT - Elections and Politics and Guns and Religion

[frank theriault]

Certainly, two of our best governments over the past 50 years have
been minority governments. In Canada, with three major parties, a
minority government's effectiveness often depends on who holds the
"balance of power". Often the third place party can have a very strong
voice in policy formation.

Re: OT - Elections and Politics and Guns and Religion

[frank theriault]

Well, luckily, now that we've elected a somewhat progressive (by
American standards, downright socialist) Liberal government, we'll
likely regain some of what was taken away by the corporate-capitalist
Conservative toadies.

True, our elected government is not nearly as far to the left as I'd
prefer, I'm still buoyed by the fact that they have actually pledged
to raise taxes on the rich, directly fund infrastructure improvements
to stimulate the economy and run a deficit to fund those hefty
government expenditures. Gotta love Keynsian Economics! Happy days are
here again!

cheers,

frank

PESO - Drafting Swans

[frank theriault]

Okay, even though Swans on the Wing is sharper, I think I prefer this
one for the colour of the sky, the composition/position of the swans
and the fact that their flapping wings are synchronized (which is the
way swans usually fly - I don't know what's up with the earlier
photo). The trailing swan, while not quite as sharp as the earlier
photo, is acceptable; I wish the lead swan were sharper. Still, I'm
happier with this one than the last:

http://knarfdummyblog.blogspot.ca/2015/10/drafting-swans.html

Here's the earlier one:

PESO - Beetle on a Leaf

[frank theriault]

Uninspired title.

Have no idea what type of beetle this is - how many million species of

liked the iridescence (which I suspect would be spectacular in the
sun) and the little white tufts on his sides:

PESO - Etobicoke Creek

[frank theriault]

I mentioned in an earlier post that I spent Sunday at Etobicoke Creek.
It's a couple of kilometres from my house, marking the border between
Etobicoke (now part of Toronto) and Mississauga (a huge suburb west of
Toronto). You can see remnants of early 20th Century human intrusion
(including at least one washed out bridge) but it's pretty much
untouched now. And by late summer, quite lush:

PESO - European Paper Wasp

[frank theriault]

Took a walk along Etobicoke Creek yesterday. It ended up being a Macro
day, for the most part.

Found this gal and a bunch of her friends having a feeding frenzy on
these yellow flowers:

http://knarfdummyblog.blogspot.ca/2015/09/european-paper-wasp.html

>From the orange antennae I believe she's a European Paper Wasp, an
invasive alien species that's been here for about 35 years. Problem is
that they're much more successful than the Northern Paper Wasp so they
may be pushing them out of their usual areas.

I didn't know any of the above, but you know how it is, you take a
photo, research to identify, discover a bit of new information...

Hope you enjoy. Comments welcome.

cheers,

frank

PESO- Mr. Eighth Street

When one is in the photographic doldrums, shoot something familiar.
Just shoot to get the shutter finger popping.

So I went to Eighth Street Skate Park in hopes that some of my young

Here's Jeremy:

PESO - Come Blow your Horn

[frank theriault]

I'm not sure how much I like this one. It's so close.

This guy (and the drummer) ~were~ quite good. First attracted my ear
with strains of Dizzy Gillespie's ~A Night in Tunisia~, and he
continued to play lots of Miles and mid-fifties late bebop stuff.

BUT, the light was horribly harsh, and he kept moving from the light
into the shadows. That moving also made it hard to get him and the
drummer in the same frame without (to say the least) very distracting
backgrounds.

Unfortunately this photo has one of those horrid backgrounds, and he's
in front of the drummer, but this was by far the best pose he gave
me all 15 or 20 minutes I listened:

http://knarfinthecity.blogspot.ca/2015/08/come-blow-your-horn.html

I waited to catch it again, constantly moving about to keep things
nicely framed, but that pose never happened again. So this is it. Hope
you enjoy. Comments welcome.

cheers,

frank

Re: PESO - Cordage

[frank theriault]

I bet it was 35 or 40 years ago for me, too.

I gave it up after Hermie went on and on about whether a whale is a
fish or a mammal (duh!) and IIRC he concluded that it's a fish. My
young mind was about to explode (since I KNEW the answer, and fish
wasn't it!) so I put the book down and never picked it up again.

I'd already seen the movie anyway and they didn't put all that
mammal/fish stuff in. Not Gregory Peck's best vehicle but it was
better than the book. LOL

cheers,

frank

Yeah, I know, it sounds like an English pub. Couldn't resist:

BTW those more-or-less parallel white lines on the upper right are a

a web to get between a bumblebee and her nectar, I guess.
