The city has been doing a lovely job this winter plowing the paved path that winds through the nearby valley. Sure, it’s trivial. But as the planet burns, we all look for our own ways to cope. Some of us need to go for walks in the woods. #ldnont #medway #canada #winter

It doesn’t take much to make her happy. Just hook up her leash and head out into the snow. Out here, nothing matters to her beyond playing relentlessly until she decides it’s time to head back. It’s a pretty inspiring way to live. #ldnont #medway #canada #callithewonderschnauzer #actofdog

Even in deepest winter, the water finds a way to keep flowing. Maybe it’s basic physics, chemistry, and geography. Or maybe it’s a more profound lesson for those who stand on the snowbound riverbank and watch. #ldnont #medway #canada #winter #onstorm

On a grey October day, the muted colours of the canopy above bounce off of the mirror-like surface below, one last blast of the season before they, too, fade to grey. It was like this then. It never will be again. #ldnont #canada #autumn #throwbackthursday #reflective

Our social media feeds are clogged with 2016-themed throwbacks - yet we seem to be misunderstanding the risks inherent in a seemingly innocuous online trend. My latest article explains. medium.com/@carmilevy/a...

Huge news for Canadian TikTokkers: @politico.com reports federal court has overturned a government order for @tiktokcanada.bsky.social to shut down its Cdn offices, and has sent the file back to Industry Minister @melaniejolycan.bsky.social for another look. www.politico.com/news/2026/01...

Planet Earth has become particularly noisy. Some might say overwhelmingly so. So we look for the quiet. In places where the fallen snow gently turns down the volume. If only it could last longer. #ldnont #medway #canada #winter #monochrome

At a busy downtown Toronto crosswalk, drivers graciously look out for a single pedestrian. Because humanity works better, apparently, when we look out for each other. #toronto #canada #throwback #streetphotography

As a child, I stared up at tall buildings reaching for the sky more than was likely healthy. I don’t think much has changed now that I’m an adult. Probably just as well. #toronto #canada #architecturephotography #monochrome #shotoniphone

As a winter storm paints the river valley in thick white, tiny patches of floating ice barely ripple the mirror-like surface. A profound silence settles over the deep woods, a reminder, perhaps, to slow down and enjoy it all before it melts. #ldnont #medway #canada #winter #onstorm

Winter can be beautiful. That is all. #ldnont #canada #onstorm #icicleworks #monochrome

This is how we once kept in touch. Mostly gone now. Yet every once in a while, the past whispers to us from a shadowy, forgotten corner. An echo, perhaps, of the indelible connections we once made. And still do, if we’re lucky. #toronto #ontario #canada #monochrome #stilllife

On a garbage-strewn stretch of downtown #Toronto sidewalk, two birds stand still and silent, ignored by the endless knots of city dwellers rushing to whatever it is that fills the day. My gut tells me something isn’t quite right. My heart hopes I’m wrong. #ontario #canada #birds #life

The forest dances in the bitter cold, life thriving in a place seemingly hostile to it, a story visible only to those who choose to observe it. So we stand quietly as the winds sing songs in our ears and slap us in the face, and we do just that. #dryden #ontario #canada #winter #onstorm

As Iran tightens the electronic noose around its citizens to shield its atrocities, the full extent of this unprecedented digital blockade is becoming terrifyingly apparent. I'm joining CBC Radio stations across #canada from 3pm ET discuss meanings, lessons, and next steps. www.cbc.ca/radio

The winds have been busy, carving abstract scenes in the snows at our feet. None of this will last. It’s only a matter of time before all this disappears. I wonder who will remember it. And whether they’ll smile when they do. #ldnont #canada #onstorm #abstract #stilllife

Feeling reflective at the gate. #winnipeg #canada #aircanada #airbus

At the exact moment the sun slips below the horizon, it shines a single pillar of light high into the fiery sky. Science says it’s a sun pillar, a brilliant reflection off the high clouds in the atmosphere. But I’d like to imagine it’s a little bit of magic, too. #ldnont #canada

A single berry clings desperately to a single branch. What normally reaches for the sky is now weighed down to the vertical by the thick ice. Within hours, the temperature will soar, the ice will melt, and the entire thing will bounce back high above. Nothing lasts. #ldnont #canada #frozen

As the sky’s light fades for the night, the city’s lights come alive. A nightly dance that never gets old. #toronto #canada #cntower #skyline #architecture

The sun’s dying rays move unimpeded through the bare canopy. What seems empty to some is merely a new opportunity to see the previously unseen. It’s a lesson in perspective, perhaps, courtesy of some random trees that maybe aren’t so random after all. #ldnont #ontario #canada #sunset

We’re all on some kind of journey. May as well enjoy the ride. #toronto #canada #humber #cyclinglife #monochrome

A tree fell in the forest nearby, and I’m sharing this photo to confirm that it was indeed heard. #ldnont #canada #onstorm #monochrome #fallen

We call it a good shellacking, when an ice storm coats the windows and seals us in. It’s too dangerous to go outside, so we shoot from the inside, looking for inspiration in the impenetrable. And ways to hold onto time before it melts away. #ldnont #canada #onstorm #abstract #monochrome

When winter decides to slam the region with chilled fury, she also leaves behind some treats in the margins. So we look for them before they disappear. Which, to me, anyway, feels like a reasonable means of retaining sanity. #ldnont #canada #winter #abstract #stilllife

As the world awakes to news that the U.S. has attacked Venezuela and captured its president Nicolas Maduro, I find myself musing about airplanes. They can either defend a nation’s sovereignty, or be used to take it away. It all comes down to intent. Sigh. #ldnont #airshowlondon #bonespurs

Every day, I share a photo and a story. I call it a vignette, a snapshot of the day. In a world rocked by big headlines, no one cares about a guy ruminating over raison toast. Yet still I ruminate. Because even small stories matter. To me, anyway. #ldnont #canada #breakfast #stilllife

On an ordinary day in an ordinary place, I stare straight up into blue skies streaked with white. Which means the day is far from ordinary. Indeed, no day is ever just ordinary. Whatever the calendar may say, that day, every day, is a gift. #ldnont #canada #cloudspotting #newyearsday

This coming year, please resolve to be kind. That is all. #ldnont #newyear #kindness #matters

Dad, You don’t really think I want to be out here, do you? I’m usually a fan of winter, but raging blizzards are a whole other thing. It’s time to head inside. Capisce? With much respect and love, Calli the Wonderschnauzer #ldnont #canada #callithewonderschnauzer #actofdog #onstorm

I have vivid memories of winter storms reshaping the landscape of my childhood. And now that I’m a supposed adult, Mother Nature is at it again. May as well make some new memories, then. I’d hate to miss the show. #ldnont #ontario #canada #winter #onstorm

On the surface it looks like chaos, wild branches coated with ice, sagging dangerously as they jangle in the strengthening breeze. Come to think of it, it’s chaotic below the surface, too. Which is precisely why I can’t look away. Human nature, I suppose. #ldnont #ontario #canada #onstorm

When an ice storm paints the region with danger, the right thing to do is likely stay inside until everything melts. But curiosity is an odd thing. It compels us to look when we shouldn’t, to push on when we should likely head back. Because we just can’t imagine missing the show. #ldnont #onstorm

This is an airport. Not the brilliantly designed terminal that gets all the attention. But the dirty back-end that keeps this city-within-a-city running. Even dusty, fluorescent-lit parking structures have their own beauty. I think. #toronto #pearson #yyz #canada #monochrome

The tiniest bulbs often put out the mightiest light. Perhaps that’s a lesson for us all. #dryden #ontario #canada #monochrome #abstract

Today feels like a day that could use a bit more dog in it. Come to think of it, maybe it should be “a lot more dog” instead of “a bit more”. Words matter, apparently. So does she. #ldnont #canada #callithewonderschnauzer #actofdog

On the longest night of the year, all eight lights of Chanukah push the darkness aside. The holiday ends at sundown tonight, at which point there will be no fires burning to banish the night. Which leaves it to us to find ways to shine the light. Any way we can. I’m in. You? #ldnont #tikkunolam

Lilly knows how lucky she is that the deer have chosen her house to visit, and will often stop what she’s doing to watch them graze and rest. I hope the deer always know they have a friend on the other side of the frosted glass. #dryden #canada #LiveLaughLevy #family #everything

Sure, it’s cold. And harsh. And maybe a little dangerous. Or a lot. But it’s also starkly beautiful. So let’s choose to look for the beauty. It’s there, I promise you. #ldnont #canada #abstract #stilllife #perspective

In an impossibly crowded airport, Po the Teletubby checks our flight time. A gentle-faced elderly woman stops and watches, then waves when I’m done. I wave back as I clip Po onto my bag and continue on my way. Maybe we all need a little more Po in our lives. #toronto #canada #pearson #yyz

BREAKING: #TIKTok sold, finally: www.cnn.com/2025/12/18/t...

Toronto puts on a show as we swoop down from the heavens. A reminder, perhaps, to hit pause every once in a while and look out the window. We never know what we might see, but it’s a safe assumption that it’ll be worthwhile. Maybe even inspirational. #toronto #ontario #canada #yyz #flight

The world is a big scary place right now. So I’ve been seeking comfort in unusual places. Like the natty glass jetways in Winnipeg’s airport. It may seem like a weird spot to find refuge far from home. But refuge often presents itself where we least expect it. #ywg #winnipeg #canada #monochrome

Instruments once looked like this, industrial age dials that told their stories with the sweep of a hand. They’ve largely been replaced by digital screens, but decades from now, no one will look at an LCD and wonder about the stories it might have once told. #woodstock #ontario #canada #monochrome

There are days when all we can do is stare at the ground and wonder what we’re leaving behind. Today is one of those days. If we’re lucky, we’ll get another tomorrow. If we’re lucky, it’ll be a different kind of day. Maybe one where humans treat each other better. #enough #hatred

More Jews dead. Mowed down on an Australian beach because they had the temerity to be visibly Jewish. Ironically on the first night of Chanukah, the Festival of Light. So we find the light. To banish the darkness. Because silence won’t fix hatred. What else can we do? #enough

Claira turns one today. A year of smiles that light up the room - and everyone in it. A year of weaving herself around the hearts of everyone she meets. A year that went by in a blink. And makes us wish we could slow it down just a bit. #LiveLaughLevy #family #everything

As I stare at the windblown textures at my feet, I’m reminded that every season, even a snowy winter, has any number of small moments of joy. And that those small moments really are the big ones. #ldnont #canada #frozen #texture #stilllife

Eat the damn candy. Because life is short. Because we all deserve an occasional moment of sweetness. Or a simple smile. #stilllife #foodporn #colour #rainbow

It's a momentous day in technology history, as Australia's social media ban for kids under 16 goes live. My latest article, questioning whether bans cause more harm than they try to solve, is now live. #technology #socialmedia #thoughtleadership #mentalhealth medium.com/@carmilevy/w...
