Our tulips in the front yard are finally starting to bloom... these are my favourites because they have double the petals of the more traditional tulips...

So last weekend I took a four-day weekend and went to the cottage with my wife... and only my wife (well the cat and the dog came as well but they are nowhere near as disruptive to my sleep and sex as my kids...).

If you had asked me prior to going if I would talk a lot of pictures I would have said sure... in the end, I took a total of two pictures.

The first is of a really tasty sandwich my wife made for me and the second is of the trilliums that were all over the place... I really like trilliums.
<a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/StevenMurphy001/Temp/photo?authkey=UjR5dOgSIIc#5115098242613568770"><img src="http://lh5.google.com/StevenMurphy001/Rvx6wC405QI/AAAAAAAAARQ/xFyFXTl9r2w/s800/0103.jpg" /></a>

On the last morning I was there, I took at long canoe paddle out into the bay and floated around for a while... just me and the dog. I think I tought about my camera for about 2 seconds right then but no other time... It was a good weekend and a well needed rest.

This morning as I was leaving for work I noticed that our front yard tuplips were in full bloom and probably only have a a few more days before the petals fall off...

I particularly like the old-fashioned pointy ones...

As I mentioned in my Journal, I my neighbourhood had it's annual Garage Sale... I have been clearing out the stuff from my basement... Here are some shots of my books and videos being sold off...

It was a lot harder to do than I thought it would be but I felt a lot better about it in the end... Why do we fetishize books so much?
<a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/StevenMurphy001/Temp/photo?authkey=UjR5dOgSIIc#5115098259793438018"><img src="http://lh5.google.com/StevenMurphy001/Rvx6xC405UI/AAAAAAAAARw/Em-mWfLLAaA/s800/0107.jpg" /></a>

You can also see that most of the blossoms are off the tulips... only two remain and they are looking pretty sad.

what street do you live on? we went for yim cha (dim sum food) at the Grand Restaurant on Gerrard yesterday, but had to park the car just north of gerrard on a residential street. I may have strolled past your house, as there were a few yard sales going on.

Our street (glebeholme) is have its garage sale in a coulpe of weeks ( i think). It is organized each year by a charming elderly lady who also volunteers for the Beach Metro News. She walks around a petition to all the neighbours, to choose the best date, and then publishes it in the Beach Metro paper. Such a nice lady.

(cellophane, i didn't mean to ignore your earlier question, i just didn't see it: I never saw who was leading the painting workshop for Warhammer, as I just stayed by the fountain drinking my Starbucks...)

I was lucky to get to play in a golf tornament at the Banff Spring Course...

Here is a shot of my boss lounging in the cart and another of the 4th green... a nice par three that I landed very close to the hole...

This weekend past, I has some time alone with my daughter (not pictured). We kicked around for a while and then stopped for a coffee and a popsicle at my neighbourhood coffee shop (the Riverdale Perk).

Here is Zero keeping an eye on the traffic going by...

I have been a bit remiss in posting of late so I have a bit of a flood of images to up load...

After my trip to Banff in early June I flew to Budapest in late June... I took the first shot as the train pulled into the interterminal station at Frankfurt's Terminal B.
<a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/StevenMurphy001/Temp/photo?authkey=UjR5dOgSIIc#5115098294153176546"><img src="http://lh5.google.com/StevenMurphy001/Rvx6zC405eI/AAAAAAAAATA/WN-GdLvSpo8/s800/0117.jpg" /></a>

The second shot was where I had lunch when I finally reached Budapest. It was in a little cafe around the corner from my hotel. The food was OK but this was a much needed espresso that finished lunch.

On the evening of the day I arrived there was a concert in the park across the street. A friend and I wandered across the street to catch the show and have a couple of beers. The weather was perfect for an outdoor concert.
<a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/StevenMurphy001/Temp/photo?authkey=UjR5dOgSIIc#5115098307038078482"><img src="http://lh4.google.com/StevenMurphy001/Rvx6zy405hI/AAAAAAAAATY/LEmI7IOeRQU/s800/0120.jpg" /></a>

The second shot was taken while I was waiting for a friend outside a drugstore. As I leaned against a planter this fellow in brownface and a pinoccio nose set up just three feet in front of me. He stood frozen until someone dropped a coin in his hat... you know the routine. I just thought it was odd that he was so close to me.

My boss, who also attended the sales market, took me for dinner at a very nice (if a little touristy) restaurant called Gundel. At one point this violin-playing gentleman serenaded us... I never like it when that happens.
<a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/StevenMurphy001/Temp/photo?authkey=UjR5dOgSIIc#5115098311333045810"><img src="http://lh5.google.com/StevenMurphy001/Rvx60C405jI/AAAAAAAAATo/P2pGuC2qGX0/s800/0122.jpg" /></a>

After dinner we walked back to the hotel and passed by this large public square which also is the home to their Tomb for an Unknown Soldier. These sorts of public squares always make me wish there were more of them in Toronto...
<a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/StevenMurphy001/Temp/photo?authkey=UjR5dOgSIIc#5115098315628013122"><img src="http://lh6.google.com/StevenMurphy001/Rvx60S405kI/AAAAAAAAATw/AYFtiS69Cp0/s800/0123.jpg" /></a>

The last shot is of the airplane that hangs in the atrium of the hotel (Sofitel) in which the market I was attending took place. I thought it was cool.

The first shot is one of the passageways that I walked through on the way to work from the hotel I stayed at... It was kind of sad because all of the shops on the right hand side were boarded up. I did like the way it made the group in front of me look like there were "walking towards the light".
<a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/StevenMurphy001/Temp/photo?authkey=UjR5dOgSIIc#5115098319922980450"><img src="http://lh3.google.com/StevenMurphy001/Rvx60i405mI/AAAAAAAAAUA/tUPt0yZyv7w/s800/0125.jpg" /></a>

The next shot was taken from the top of the boat on which I attended a very fun party. I danced like I haven't danced in years (and got very sweaty). The view from the top of the boat (which was anchored on the Buda side) of all the buildings reflected in the Danube was quite beautiful.
<a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/StevenMurphy001/Temp/photo?authkey=UjR5dOgSIIc#5115098324217947762"><img src="http://lh4.google.com/StevenMurphy001/Rvx60y405nI/AAAAAAAAAUI/A6xbfhLNqNA/s800/0126.jpg" /></a>

The third shot is of the fountain in the garden across the road from my hotel. The garden (Ersebet Square) was a little run down but it wasn't anything a few thousand euros couldn't fix. As I was walking home that day, I happened to see this guy with long rocker hair watching his kids use the slide... I thought it was a rather odd sight. When I got up close, the rocker guy turned out to be Slash. Velvet Revolver was playing in town and he was staying in my hotel.

On my last day in town I had the evening to myself... I was just going to eat in the hotel restaurant when I realized that I wasn't going to be back in Budapest for another year and decided to venture forth. Some friend's had mentioned a nice restaurant in the area of the Cathedral not far from where I was staying. I found the restaurant but was drawn just up the street to the towering Cathedral. It was huge. The camera doesn't do it justtice but take note that the building on the left is 9 stories and that there are people on the steps...
<a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/StevenMurphy001/Temp/photo?authkey=UjR5dOgSIIc#5115098332807882386"><img src="http://lh6.google.com/StevenMurphy001/Rvx61S405pI/AAAAAAAAAUY/_RAFlKNOJJ8/s800/0128.jpg" /></a>

There were two restaurants on the square and I chose Leroy Cafe for two reasons: the lights on the walls (there were a flower pattern with a light bulb in the middle) and the fact that Leroy reminded me of The Baroque Trillogy which I just finished reading earlier this year.
<a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/StevenMurphy001/Temp/photo?authkey=UjR5dOgSIIc#5115098332807882402"><img src="http://lh6.google.com/StevenMurphy001/Rvx61S405qI/AAAAAAAAAUg/DiQT-38Sia0/s800/0129.jpg" /></a>

The food was pretty good. I started with a gin and tonic and moved onto a grilled shrimp salad which was followed by a glass of Cabernet and a Sesame crusted Turkey topped with arugala, goat cheese and carmalized pears (pictured below). The was followed by a forgettable dessert and a glass of Tokaij (Hungarian dessert wine that is just amazing).
<a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/StevenMurphy001/Temp/photo?authkey=UjR5dOgSIIc#5115098337102849714"><img src="http://lh3.google.com/StevenMurphy001/Rvx61i405rI/AAAAAAAAAUo/4mlo9nBI10o/s800/0130.jpg" /></a>
A three out of five for the meal but it was very nice to be able to sit outside and eat (at that point it was still hit or miss with the weather back home).

This is "the one that got away".

I was driving on Hwy. 11 about 30 minutes north of North Bay (on my way to retrieve my son from Camp) when the semi I was trailing suddenly put on his fourways and slowed down. I thought he was being neighbourly and letting me pass, so I accelerated and passed...

No sooner had I got around the big truck then I noticed that scrambling up the middle of the road was very large moose, heretofore unseen as it was on the other side of a large white transport... I quickly reached for my camera phone but by the time it was ready to shoot, the moose dove for cover into the bush on the left. If the camera was better I'm sure you could still see its butt sticking out of the forest.

You can still see the scuff marks its hooves made on either side of the dividing line just infront of my car.

In anycase, this is a shot of the what the highway looks like in northern Ontario.

The Trip to Rochester...

I was really looking forward to taking the ferry to Rochester. The novelty of travelling buy boat across the lake just struck me as very cool.

The first shot is taken from the seat I snagged on the upper deck. I managed to hook up with Kramus but totally missed Yakk and Knifemissle (despite the latter walking the decks with a TFP sign).
<a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/StevenMurphy001/Temp/photo?authkey=UjR5dOgSIIc#5115098345692784354"><img src="http://lh5.google.com/StevenMurphy001/Rvx62C405uI/AAAAAAAAAVA/844TbsYZJDs/s800/0133.jpg" /></a>

The second shot is looking back at Toronto. This was very cool. I don't think I've ever seen my city from this perspective (in person anyway). The islands really make the city look green.
<a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/StevenMurphy001/Temp/photo?authkey=UjR5dOgSIIc#5115098349987751666"><img src="http://lh6.google.com/StevenMurphy001/Rvx62S405vI/AAAAAAAAAVI/rX_TUHEqzG4/s800/0134.jpg" /></a>

The third is of the twin trails the ship leaves for its wake... Kramus convinced me to go outside and feel the wind. The high speed really whips it up.
<a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/StevenMurphy001/Temp/photo?authkey=UjR5dOgSIIc#5115098349987751682"><img src="http://lh6.google.com/StevenMurphy001/Rvx62S405wI/AAAAAAAAAVQ/8z6UB1eBkBU/s800/0135.jpg" /></a>

Finally, a very nice sunset as we drove towards nightfall.

The first shot is of the sign forbidding entry back into the US Customs area... I never knew how difficult it was to see one of these signs when you are standing directly below one... by the way, did you know it is an automatic $500 in the US if you carry white poweder in an unmarked container?

The next shot is from the first tee at the first annual TFP Open. Uncle Phil and I had a great time...

After golf, we made it back in time to do a little grocery shopping and then it was off with the King of Rochester... Paddyjoe.

The first shot is called, "The Pate of Joe". (I just noticed that you can see me in the rearview mirror).
<a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/StevenMurphy001/Temp/photo?authkey=UjR5dOgSIIc#5115098367167620930"><img src="http://lh6.google.com/StevenMurphy001/Rvx63S4050I/AAAAAAAAAVw/gv2fJuGp0vs/s800/0139.jpg" /></a>

Our first stop was the High Falls district. Joe took us to the visitor's centre where we perused the gallery and learned a little local history... Most importantly Joe showed us where he keeps his really big camera... apparently size matters.
<a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/StevenMurphy001/Temp/photo?authkey=UjR5dOgSIIc#5115098367167620946"><img src="http://lh6.google.com/StevenMurphy001/Rvx63S4051I/AAAAAAAAAV4/UXi8b0EED70/s800/0140.jpg" /></a>

The last show is of some of the wildlife in the area... here we see just onesnowyowl... feel free to admire the plumage.

Then it was a short trip through the centre of town to Eastman House. Joe, the consummate host, had free passes for the lot of us and even asked Shani to join him as his date...

The main exhibition was a collection of Edward Weston's work. Really great stuff. We were a little chilled however when Shani gasped, "Oh my God! It's a Giant Hamburger!"
<a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/StevenMurphy001/Temp/photo?authkey=UjR5dOgSIIc#5115098375757555570"><img src="http://lh4.google.com/StevenMurphy001/Rvx63y4053I/AAAAAAAAAWI/pLrnBPv3d4o/s144/0142.jpg" /></a>

We later took a tour of Eastman's very nice house. His book collection was very nice and this shot kind of summed up a theme for the whole weekend (interestingly enough you can see a picture of me taking this picture in Paddyjoe's thread here: http://www.tfproject.org/tfp/showthread.php?t=92494).
<a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/StevenMurphy001/Temp/photo?authkey=UjR5dOgSIIc#5115098375757555586"><img src="http://lh4.google.com/StevenMurphy001/Rvx63y4054I/AAAAAAAAAWQ/xpLofcDBSyE/s144/0143.jpg" /></a>

Finally, I just really felt like a good knob.

Then it was off to local eatery in the Park Avenue area of town. Jines is a restaurant where Paddyjoe as a permanent collection of his work on display... you see fly? I told you he wasn't lying. People really do pay him for his work.


This is the lot of us having lunch... I just want to thank Paddyjoe again for taking on a tour of his city. You could really tell he was proud of where he's from. I'd also like to thank him again for treating us to lunch... Just remember the ferry goes both ways...

A Paddyjoe selfportrait... the man can take a picture.

Then it was back to Tecoyah's for BBQ and Beer...

The first shot is from my perch on Tec's throne... you can just make out the inferno that is Tec's BBQ pit (it's the yellow glow in the middle back).
<a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/StevenMurphy001/Temp/photo?authkey=UjR5dOgSIIc#5115098405822326786"><img src="http://lh3.google.com/StevenMurphy001/Rvx65i406AI/AAAAAAAAAXQ/BSzDT17BEVc/s800/0151.jpg" /></a>

Horseshoes were attempted by Paddyjoe and myself... he won 4-0 *bastard*.
<a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/StevenMurphy001/Temp/photo?authkey=UjR5dOgSIIc#5115098410117294098"><img src="http://lh4.google.com/StevenMurphy001/Rvx65y406BI/AAAAAAAAAXY/6oQha8wIZLc/s800/0152.jpg" /></a>

Phil was the master baster... the ribs were spectacular.
<a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/StevenMurphy001/Temp/photo?authkey=UjR5dOgSIIc#5115098414412261410"><img src="http://lh5.google.com/StevenMurphy001/Rvx66C406CI/AAAAAAAAAXg/NLfmp3j7NJQ/s800/0153.jpg" /></a>

Snowy tried to convince us to get into some Yoga 'n' Ribs but I found it just a little too comfortable on the garden swing eating ribs and drinking beer...

The first is of most of us on Tec's front porch... it was shortly after this that we realized the webcam was in the back room and we were essentially ignoring the rest of you... we then moved back. Besides Kramus, Tec and Shani (or was it Dawg) were sitting on Phil's bed and he had to sleep.
<a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/StevenMurphy001/Temp/photo?authkey=UjR5dOgSIIc#5115098423002196034"><img src="http://lh3.google.com/StevenMurphy001/Rvx66i406EI/AAAAAAAAAXw/nPyyw0sJfEo/s800/0155.jpg" /></a>

After a very late night and less than two hours sleep, I snuck up for a shower and took this of the living room bunch... from the left: Yakk, Knifemissle and Kramus.
<a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/StevenMurphy001/Temp/photo?authkey=UjR5dOgSIIc#5115098427297163346"><img src="http://lh4.google.com/StevenMurphy001/Rvx66y406FI/AAAAAAAAAX4/kvXmF6tJj3o/s800/0156.jpg" /></a>

Thankfully Knife and Yakk managed to rouse themselves in time to head off to catch the 8 am ferry. Thanks again for the ride and the company on the ferry guys.

Finally Toronto loomed once more on the horizon...

I was first off the boat...

I really enjoy your pics, Charlie.
Toronto seems like a good place to park your butt for a while.

The Pate of Joe is an excellent shot!
Awesome Rochester pics. Wish I'd been there.

Thank you all... I'm just not sure what to do with all the compliments coming in from the ladies... a guy could get used to this.

Paddyjoe... I am honoured to have a photographer of your stature compliment my stuff... I am equally honoured to include the first shot by someone other than myself on this thread... Cheers!

It was Friday morning and I was bemoaning the fact that I wasn't going to the cottage for the long weekend. My wife called to suggest that we make the most of our weekend in the city by going to the Toronto Islands...

A short ferrry ride away.

Here are a couple of shots from the amusment park there.

Righ next to the little amusement park is the Farm (Far Enough Farm)...

When we were first married my wife and would take our son to the Islands each year for a picnic on our anniversary... This is the first time we've had a chance to take our daughter.

A shot of Toronto from the Ferry, in the Harbour and a shot of one of the other Ferries (I believe there are four in total).
