Tell it to stick around to the weekend so we westenders have a chance to see it (even on a Saturday at 9.30 am the Gardiner was pretty bad).

Lovely shot Richard. Wish I could have waited longer this morning - I'm sure some sunshine would have helped. Thankfully he was waiting for me after dinner tonight. Hopefully the unsettled weather will keep him there for a few more days.

Colonel Sam Smith Park, I know thee not.
I'm pretty much not going to anything west of Spadina for the next 3 years due to the construction.
besides, Sam Smith gets a chat almost every year. don't be so greedy! :)

I'm not greedy, it would be a lifer.

well, a semi-educated guess says that based on last night's weather, this week's projected weather and the voracity of the chat snacking down on gnats, it will be there for a while.
