Things that look simple, aren’t. #sunnyislesbeach #florida #sunrise #landscapephotography #throwback

Spring rains may have washed away the best laid plans of many, but they left behind a surprise miracle or two in the margins. #ldnont #canada #streetphotography #stilllife

Grab on. We’re going somewhere. Precisely where doesn’t really matter. We’re surrounded by 360 degrees of potential, limitless kilometres of asphalt, and countless places we’ve never been. We’ll figure it out eventually. For now, let’s just ride. #ldnont #middlesex #canada #cycling #orange

After the rains have come and gone, they leave traces behind, often in the places where most of us fail to look. Maybe it’s trivial to even take notice of something so seemingly mundane. But who decides what is and is not mundane, anyway? Then it dawns on me: I do. #ldnont #sidewalk #abstract

Some scenes scream at us from the side of the road, begging us to stop pedalling and enjoy the moment. I’m guessing this is one of them. I’m glad I stopped. #ldnont #middlesex #farmers #feed #cities

Countless times I’ve stood transfixed on the ground while this remarkable group of aviators worked their magic overhead. Meanwhile behind the scenes, mechanics performed silent miracles to keep them airworthy. All Canadians are deeply thankful for your service. #Snowbirds #canada

I do this thing when we go to the beach where I’ll just stare at the waves as they crash into the shore. So my photo archives have a lot of splashing-water pics. Weird, I know. I call it shutter therapy. Because in that moment, nothing else matters. #grandbend #canada #monochrome #splash

On a good day, I’ll take the orange machine and pedal it somewhere I haven’t been in a while. Which makes yesterday, by definition, a good day. Today, too. Let’s ride. #ldnont #canada #cycling #justride #reflective

Words to live by (#491 in a series): Never stop chasing the sun. You’ll never actually catch it, as the physics and orbital mechanics don’t exactly work in our favour. But you still might get your breath taken away in the process. #ldnont #hydepark #canada #sunset #reflective

There’s that moment when you walk through the access tunnel, the ballyard revealing itself in brilliant light at the far end. It’s all promise and potential, the sound of the crowd slowly building. Maybe this is why they call it the field of dreams. #toronto #canada #bluejays #skydome

Is it weird to have a favourite tree? Even if it is, this is mine. Or one of them. I often wonder how it springs almost horizontally off of the riverbank, its canopy barely clearing the rushing waters below. It must have its reasons, I imagine. #ldnont #canada #medway

We bowled. Badly. Wearing not-quite-matching shoes whose stitching gave it up when the Pro Bowlers Tour still existed. Yet we were in a place, surrounded by those who mattered most, wishing the game would never end. #ldnont #canada #fleetway #bowling #stilllife

Have you ever wondered what a tower and an aquarium might say to each other? Or is it just me? Whatever the case, there’s something to be said for staring up into the sky in wonder. #toronto #canada #cntower #ripleysaquarium #architecture

The cranky old crabapple tree on the corner was just about done with its seasonal spring glow-up. So I raced the thunder to grab a memory before it vanished, nature’s perfume lingering in my nose as I ran back to the house through the first drops from the sky. #ldnont #canada #pink #stilllife

Scene from an LRT station. Courtesy of the TTC, and an unknown designer with a thing for orange, straight lines, and sloped hallways bathed in white and not much else. I had forgotten how much fun it can be to navigate a big city via transit. #toronto #ttc #transit #eglinton #line5

She is the definition of empathy, love, kindness, and fierce protection, and is the gravity of our family. She’s taught us all what a real home can feel like. She’s the kind of mom all kids wish they could have. #LiveLaughLevy #ldnont #mothersday #family #everything

Eyes to the sky, friends. Another meteorologically entertaining afternoon in southwestern Ontario. #ldnont #canada #onstorm #weather #wx

The calendar tells me that today is my birthday. I’m keenly aware that we’re given a finite number of birthdays. I’m also aware how lucky I am, surrounded by a family most people can only dream of. So we’ll party today. And tomorrow. And… #LiveLaughLevy #family #everything

It’s my birthday today, and my hoomans did not get me a cake. Instead, my dad promised me extra-long walks. And hugs. And treats. He says time moves too fast. And while I don’t really understand what time is, I do wish we had more of it. #ldnont #canada #callithewonderschnauzer #actofdog

After a day of relentless rain, the skies put on a surprise show for us before tucking in for the night. We were lucky to be right there when it happened. #ldnont #canada #sunset #cloudspotting

This could, quite literally, be anything. I’ll take your wrong guesses only. #ldnont #canada #abstract #stilllife

After the snows melt and before the leaves bloom, the forest is bare for a tiny sliver of time. So we grab images of it while we can, before everything changes yet again. It’s a metaphor of sorts for photography as well as for life: get out there. Now. #ldnont #canada #medway #monochrome

Dear sky, Thanks for the show. Let’s meet up again soon, shall we? #ldnont #canada #sunset #cloudspotting

Goodbye, Spirit Airlines. Maligned as it was, it served an important role in holding competitors accountable and keeping prices down. I’ll miss seeing the bright yellow livery. I’ll miss the era when we all had choice and access even more. #cancun #mexico #throwback

Date night with my lovely wife can happen anywhere. Like a desolately grey, crowded Costco where a shiny container sits all by itself on a dusty shelf. Inspiration can happen wherever we want it to. Even here. #ldnont #canada #retail #reflective #stilllife

Some days the path is obvious. Others it is not. Yet still, we go. #toronto #canada #monochrome

As kids, we were told to eat our vegetables. We weren’t taught to appreciate them, though. To thank total strangers who willed them out of the fertile ground. And to express a little gratitude for the things we could not see. #ldnont #canada #grocery #stilllife #fruitography #thankafarmer

The dog insisted on taking a timeout in the woods last evening. I should follow her lead more often. #ldnont #canada #walnutwoods #texture

On a bright Sunday morning, I’m cycling through a crowded park when I catch a flash of orange out of the corner of my eye. It’s just a tulip patch. But there’s no such thing as “just” in my world. And the world needs more moments of whimsy. So… #ldnont #canada #springbank #orange #stilllife

There are two sides to this photo. The first feels like a distant photo of a familiar skyline under threatening skies. The second feels like a metaphor for the times we live in, a gentle reminder that no storm lasts forever. #toronto #canada #skyline #onstorm

Where do you want to go today? The answer could be as simple as pointing the handlebars in any random direction, then pushing off. Physics takes care of the rest. And maybe some assorted snacks. But the ride has to start somewhere. #ldnont #canada #cycling #tvp #justride

When we find ourselves barking up the right tree. #ldnont #canada #medway #stilllife #texture

I’m just going to sit here and stare into your soul until you give me those treats I know you have in your right-front pocket. #ldnont #canada #schnauzer #callithewonderschnauzer #actofdog

The day’s mission was a simple one: chase birds through the sky with glass. Not because the world especially needed another bird pic. But because I needed a singular moment where nothing else mattered beyond this. #sunnyislesbeach #florida #naturephotography #wildlifephotography #throwback

Everything always seems to hinge on one thing. What that one thing is, however, is entirely up to us. #ldnont #canada #monochrome #abstract #architecture

What does 'digital sovereignty' mean for everyday Canadians? Tech analyst @carmilevy.bsky.social joins Trudie Mason with more:

We all grew up on some kind of playground. Behind fences that either kept us in or kept others out. Where we either made friends for life or learned harder lessons. That not everyone looks out for us. That the rules only applied to some. #ldnont #canada #downtown #streetphotography

The scene: inside our car parked in the driveway during an epic rainstorm. The skies tap out an hypnotic thrum against the sheetmetal, the water pooling on the glass overhead. So I sit quietly until the rains subside, a welcome pause while nature does its thing. #ldnont #canada #onstorm

Not all those who wander are lost. Not all those who are lost necessarily want to be found. #ldnont #canada #sign #tolkien #streetphotography

The thing that attracts our attention isn’t always spectacular or obvious. It can be the unassuming branch swaying in the wind, the wisp of nothingness with tiny dew drops clinging underneath. Maybe we should start looking more closely, then. #ldnont #canada #medway #bokeh #stilllife

I stare into the reflective waters and realize they’ll never look precisely like this again. Maybe I’ll return someday, and maybe the lighting, weather, and even my mood will be similar. But this exact image will never be repeated. Lucky me, then. #ldnont #canada #medway

Bagels aren’t just glorified rolls with holes in the middle. They’re culinary religion. Even more so if you’ve picked the right shmear to accompany them. #ldnont #canada #oldbagelhouse #monochrome #stilllife

In the sacred few minutes after sunrise, forces from across the planet converge on a deserted beach, leaving a frozen moment of peak energy, sound, light, and shadow before disappearing forever. And here we thought this was just a single wave. #sunnyislesbeach #throwback

I point the bike north, toward a picture perfect town called Lucan, the late afternoon sun casting long shadows as I battle the winds sweeping across the freshly plowed farmers’ fields. It isn’t lost on me how lucky I am to still do this. #lucan #canada #cycling #tangerinedream #justride

It takes courage to fling yourself into the unknown, to trust your wings to carry you through the turbulence toward what may or may not be a better place. I wonder if this bird is trying to teach us something. #sunnyislesbeach #florida #wildlifephotography #throwback

Welcome home, Integrity. What a time to be alive. #artemisii #nasa #splashdown #history

I’d like to imagine that we return to the things that bring us quiet comfort, that offer familiarity amid lives that often seem devoid of it. #ldnont #canada #naturephotography #landscapephotography #life

The sun won’t rise for another 20 minutes, but already the sky is coming alive, pointing the way for the single sailboat making its way along the shore. We all leave ephemeral traces behind. Some in the waters, some in other ways. #sunnyislesbeach #florida #sunrise #landscapephotography #throwback

Just as some of us disappear into the fog, others emerge from it. A sign, perhaps, that the fog doesn’t always just take away. It can give back, as well. Come to think of it, maybe none of this is limited to meteorology. #ldnont #canada #weather #nikon #monochrome
