Eaton Centre, December 23, 1:57 PM

I work downtown and I couldn't resist checking out the mall on my lunch hour yesterday. To my surprise, it was not very busy (although the lineup at the Indigo store was long).

March of the Snowballs

Happy Monkey Day!

Today is a day to celebrate all things simian!

I hope you join me in monkeying around.

Cavalcade of Lights, Nathan Phillips Square

I went downtown last night to see the lights. Nathan Phillips Square was packed with people because of the Cavalcade of Lights. The rink was busier than I have ever seen it.

For the first time this season, it felt like winter had finally arrived.

Sea Anemone - Toronto Zoo

I do not scuba dive. Nor do I snorkle. This is a real shame, considering how fascinated I am with undersea life.

Take this sea anemone, for example. With its ghostly green colouring and its delicate, glass-like tendrils, it is hard to believe that this is a predatory animal.
