Let Them Eat Cake...

... but they'd better not get any on the dress!

I snapped this dress, worn by the diminutive Marie Antoinette, at the Royal Ontario yesterday with my cellphone. I had no idea that she'd been so short but the photo really doesn't convey just how tiny she was, but it clearly shows what a spectacular garment it is.

Cyclist on Duplex Avenue

Cyclists are a bit of a recurring theme in my work. I suppose it's because I haven't logged much time on my bicycle since moving to Toronto nearly four years ago. This one was a one-handed shot taken while I was walking the dog yesterday, hence the blur that adds motion to the image.

Despite the wind and cold, bicycle commuting in winter continues to gain popularity and, while I'm one of those timid souls who puts his bike away come October, I am somewhat envious of those who have the resiliency and riding skills to ride during the cold season.

Another Picture of Azure

When all else fails, post a picture of a pet, I say.

Enjoy.
