So I didn't have time to update this over the holidays so here are few new shots... sorry no glamorous locations just Toronto and the like...
My last post above was on Dec 21 and it was a sunny day outside my window... what a difference a couple days can make. Here is the same view from about the same time of day on Dec 23... We had a nasty dump of snow the day before and then on the 23rd it was freezing rain and rain...

Getting to work on the 23rd was a real drag. My wife told me just to call in but I figured I should just get off my ass and get into work.
After trudging through the rain (and managing to keep my feet beneath me) I finally made it to the streetcar stop and had to wait almost a half an hour for a car (usually at rush hour it is less and 5 mins). The statue of Dr. Sun-Yat-Sen was looking particulaly chilly and lonely that morning... usually there are scores of old chinese men and women doing exercises at the time of the morning...  When the car finally came it was full. Halfway to work it was short turned and I to get off and catch the next car... that in turn was short turned... took me almost 1.5 hours to make what usually takes 40 to 50 minutes.

On the 24th I dutifully went into work... for a half day. The rain had stopped but it had left an icy coating over everthing... including the car's windshield.
Just outside my front door I was greeted by this beautiful view... The picture doesn't quite capture the magic of the sunrise shining through the ice but I think you get the idea...

On the Sunday morning after Christmas we drove up to the stable where my wife teaches... The white pony's name is Chucky... Chucky is normally a very nice pony but he was kind of ornery that morning because he had to stay in while everyone else got to go out and play...
 My daughter loves horses. I told her to pet Chucky so I could snap a shot... Just as I clicked the shutter, Chucky bit her head. I have it on film but can't post it here...  She was OK and just had a little Fred Flintstone bump on her bean... it went down in an hour or so... She had a lot of fun telling the story over... and over... and over in only the way a 2 year old can do it.

On New Year's Day, my wife gave me the day off. I went downtown and caught a film... The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou.
I had to kill a little time before the movie so I wandered around and took a few shots and just thought about the year ahead...

I took this one this morning as I was waiting for the streetcar... This is from Riverdale park looking west to downtown Toronto... the lens on this camera really isn't all that great... it makes the core look further away than it is...
It does have a spooky quality to it though.

Here are some shots of the Prince Edward Viaduct... It runs across the Don Valley connecting the east end of Toronto to downtown... Cars drive across the top and subways run beneath...
I've always thought this was a handsome span... <a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/StevenMurphy001/Temp/photo?authkey=UjR5dOgSIIc#5115097976325595378"><img src="http://lh3.google.com/StevenMurphy001/Rvx6gi404PI/AAAAAAAAAJE/au6BD5EF0PM/s800/0039.jpg" /></a> <a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/StevenMurphy001/Temp/photo?authkey=UjR5dOgSIIc#5115097984915530002"><img src="http://lh5.google.com/StevenMurphy001/Rvx6hC404RI/AAAAAAAAAJU/mck_nafbByQ/s800/0041.jpg" /></a>

In early February we had a warm spell and I took with while walking with my kids on the Danforth... The Danforth is the heart of Greek town and was the location of much that was shot in My Big Fat Greek Wedding...

I had to actually drive last night and stumbled on a movie set. They had blocked off Eastern Avenue from Carlaw running West... They had strung christmas lights all up and down the street and erected huge lighting arrays... The one shot I took looking up at one of the massive lights high up on a boom (a good four or five stories up)... The second as I drove through the intersection...

That stable looks so nice... I can almost hear the barn sounds and smell it as well.
And Chucky was not a happy little pony that day, that's pretty clear

These were taken from the streetcar one stop short of my stop. For those in Toronto, it is at Broadview and Gerrard. This is Chinatown East. It is a mix of Vietnamese, Chinese from the north of China and Chinese from the south. The immigrants apparently came in different waves...
This intersection is facinating to me. The NW corner has a public library and the Don Jail (Toronto's municiple jail). The NE corner has a bank. The SW corner has a Vietnamese restaurant and the SE corner has a Chinese grocery store... The hustle and bustle of this mini Chinatown is just part of what makes Toronto a cool place to be. <a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/StevenMurphy001/Temp/photo?authkey=UjR5dOgSIIc#5115098002095399266"><img src="http://lh5.google.com/StevenMurphy001/Rvx6iC404WI/AAAAAAAAAJ8/sZhMM3GC7YI/s800/0046.jpg" /></a> <a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/StevenMurphy001/Temp/photo?authkey=UjR5dOgSIIc#5115098006390366578"><img src="http://lh6.google.com/StevenMurphy001/Rvx6iS404XI/AAAAAAAAAKE/u1T2pPqjChk/s800/0047.jpg" /></a>

We went to the Toronto Zoo last Friday (Good Friday). It was my daughter's frist trip and she loved it...
The best thing about going to the zoo this time of year is that the weather is warm enough for us to wander around comfortably but also cool enough to get some action out the animals. In the summer they tend to do a lot more lying around in the heat... Here is the Siberian Tiger. Largest cat in the world. <a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/StevenMurphy001/Temp/photo?authkey=UjR5dOgSIIc#5115098014980301186"><img src="http://lh4.google.com/StevenMurphy001/Rvx6iy404YI/AAAAAAAAAKM/qOBPXdRKx-c/s800/0048.jpg" /></a>

This a self portrait... I was sitting on a bench while my family wandered off to look at the Naked Mole Rats... I liked the fact that I could see myself in the glass... My boots anyway.

I love the zoo... haven't been in a few years. Since we moved downtown it is easier to go to the Royal Ontario Museum, the Science Centre and the Art Gallery of Ontario... the zoo is a bit of a hike.
My son and I used to go all the time when he was little. Now that my daughter is here... I suppose we should try to go more.

Yes! Spring is finally in the air... our trip to the zoo was just the thin edge of the wedge. Today the temp is supposed to go up to +15C.
As I was waiting for the streetcar this morning I noticed a sure sign of the warm weather, the chinese ladies who exercise in the park everymorning are back! I posted a shot of the park above, covered in snow, the statue of Dr. Sun Yat-Sen standing alone... Well this morning he had company. It is a little hard to see as this is a phone camera and it makes things in the middle distance look like they are really far away... In the foreground you can see the shadow of the bus shelter and the shadow of another transit rider waiting with me... in the back ground you can just make out the statue and some figures around the base... In reality they were only about 100 feet or so from me... <a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/StevenMurphy001/Temp/photo?authkey=UjR5dOgSIIc#5115098049340039666"><img src="http://lh4.google.com/StevenMurphy001/Rvx6ky404fI/AAAAAAAAALE/Aiqp4OVWPr8/s800/0055.jpg" /></a>

My new office is located in the "entertainment district" of the city... By day the converted warehouse spaces are filled with various new media, entertainment, fashion, retail types... By night it is all night clubs and parties...
I am just south of Queen Street West (for those who know Toronto) and a block or two away from the CityTV/Much Music/Bravo/Space...etc. Building (which is good because they license and commission a lot of programming from us). One of the things about moving here, is that I am getting a fresh look at a neighbourhood I have known for ages (I used to party in the area and worked a The Gap one block north of my new office). I don't know how many times I have driven by this building but it seems like this is the first time I've really seen it... The picture doesn't do it's clean lines and bold base justice... I am sure it is hell to work in (heating, cooling, etc. being antiquated) but it sure looks nice. <a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/StevenMurphy001/Temp/photo?authkey=UjR5dOgSIIc#5115098053635006978"><img src="http://lh5.google.com/StevenMurphy001/Rvx6lC404gI/AAAAAAAAALM/pLODnx-ty14/s800/0056.jpg" /></a>

My new company is also a production company and our new show, has just launched on Food Network Canada and will be on HGTV Canada in the Fall. We also just got an order for 13 more episodes for the fall... I am off to sell it around the world next week.
We find out if, HGTV and Fine Living US pick it up later this week... This is from the party we had last night for the launch. I managed to get a shot of the awesome cheese table and of someone nabbing an hors d'oevre... after that I was too occupied (read: drunk) to take shots... <a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/StevenMurphy001/Temp/photo?authkey=UjR5dOgSIIc#5115098066519908898"><img src="http://lh4.google.com/StevenMurphy001/Rvx6ly404iI/AAAAAAAAALc/93ViZQXCHrI/s800/0058.jpg" /></a> <a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/StevenMurphy001/Temp/photo?authkey=UjR5dOgSIIc#5115098070814876210"><img src="http://lh5.google.com/StevenMurphy001/Rvx6mC404jI/AAAAAAAAALk/nMlUOXHQlDY/s800/0059.jpg" /></a>

That cheese looks delicious.
I too have a camera phone now. I just need to figure out a way to interface it with my computer. I'm not sure whether to go with a standard USB hookup (I have to get a special cable) or get a Bluetooth dealie that plugs into my USB port. What do you use?
