Anything we do these days is trivial compared to the terrors befalling Ukraine. Support comes in many forms, such as "talks" or the CN Tower being lit blue-and-yellow. But sooner or later this invasion will play out and the outcome could easily be all-encompassing horrors.
The annual observance of Pancake Tuesday took place at a favourite diner. OK, but not as good as the potato pancakes of Pat's childhood or the giant light stacks of mine. The mosaic of ice floes is largely disappearing, especially in today's +14C. Ferry ahoy!
Allen Gardens gives a sneak peak of the colours and bulbs of spring. Add the earthy mustiness of warm soil and you're breathing the return of nature...
Quite a contrast between the white lilies inside and white snow outside. Same with cyclamen! The resident turtles clamber all over themselves ---- waking up or getting it on?
Not so springy out on the Beach for the annual Winter Installations. Pretty damn cold and windy, actually. But the theme this year is "Resilience", so crowds of onlookers check out the 6 winning installations from hundreds of submissions. Artistic interpretations of the theme, explained in signboards.
"Introspection" should be constant these days in a chaotic world. Even selfies get distorted! Can't we Inter Face instead of dividing? Are we still "One Canada"? Lots to think about, and hopefully with native Respect.
But all of this is surely trivial compared with the attack on Ukraine. The future is being played out in plain sight...
