We never tire of this view! Our city beneath a blanket of white, sparkling under the sun.

This is #TorontoDanforth
We are a #WinterCity (at least we are told that) but lack the #PoliticalWill to prioritize the equity and safety of vulnerable road users.
And if you live here, you are aware of large population of seniors that use mobility devices. How is that fact not prioritized? How?
Even a cold spell can’t keep the hardiest of us indoors! Just make sure to layer up before you head out there!

Fortunately, no fracture this time. Brutal.

Each day, we’re getting a few more minutes of daylight! But for Elana, bulb light is a decent substitute during our long winter evenings.
As an artist, Elana enjoys cozy alone time in her studio. How do you spend your winter evenings? Are you craving more light these days?

My wife took a nasty fall yesterday. #yegcc
Six hours in urgent care.
Fix the damn roads here. #Wintercity My ass.
Wear skates or stay home if you are old And guess? #yegwx #yegroads #yegtraffic
What a treat for the eyes! We love to see a vibrant pop of colour in the wash of wintry white.
Which local murals or colourful bits of architecture do you enjoy?

A snow-covered path winds diagonally through a park-like landscape, leading the eye from the lower foreground toward a mist-filled distance. The ground is uneven and textured, layered with pale snow and darker patches of exposed earth, rendered in loose, expressive strokes. Bare trees line both sides of the path, their thin, branching limbs reaching upward like fine ink lines against the foggy air. Near the center of the scene, a tall lamppost glows with a soft, warm light, its amber tone standing in contrast to the surrounding cool blues and grays. Several small human figures walk along the path, their forms dark and simplified, suggesting movement without detail. They appear bundled against the cold, spaced apart, each absorbed in their own direction. Beyond the trees, large city buildings rise faintly in the background, their shapes softened and partially obscured by mist, giving the impression of distance and scale rather than sharp architecture. Snowflakes or light specks drift subtly through the air. The overall atmosphere feels hushed and contemplative, as if the city has paused to breathe under winter’s weight, leaving only footsteps, fog, and the steady glow of a single lamp.
