In the context of St. Patrick's Day, I celebrate Ireland's beauty, the great contributions it has made to history, to spirituality, to music and to culture.

No reason why Reepicheep can't visit Toronto as well.

Their winter coats askew

This photo was taken in the Ottawa Valley - old log barns in Lanark County, with 'newer' yet. The wonder is they've survived so long, still used for intending purpose.

Walking through Ephesus (in modern day Turkey), recently, was an incredible experience. It is ‘up and down’ terrain, situated in a long sloping valley between two mountains.
