Saw this huge mural on a city walk and noticed Bambi in there. It reminded that there's a kid's zoo in High Park --- an easy day trip. Still very cold so only the hardy animals are out ---- and the hearty kids.
The big shaggy beasts are most visible and impressive. Lots of horns and wooly monsters! Gentler groups were llamas and geese co-habitating. And encouraging is this giant polar bear made entirely of recycled plastic from the park grounds.
We took our monthly check-up trip to the house on the hill. Rough salty/sandy roads made it no picnic to drive. But after the trudge up slope, all is well up there. Lots of deer and other tracks, so the place is not technically uninhabited! The Heroic Hyundai got a much-deserved wash-down in the very handy in-house car wash bay.
The ice cover on the harbour is gone except for around piers, causing the water taxis to become ice breakers too. So it seems a bit early, but they took out the channel marker buoys already. Boaters beware?
If you're at all paying attention, geopolitical events should sadden and alarm. The inane "convoy" in Canada, the bizarre crazies in the States, and now even worse. The invasion of Ukraine by vengeful, demented Putin could lead to world conflict. Tanks and bazookas in 2022, really?? I have roots and connections in that part of the world and it's to cry in disbelief and horror.
