Christos Anesti, Kalo Pascha and a happy Orthodox Easter to all my friends celebrating.

Pascha is the Greek Orthodox Easter. In 2013, Greek and Eastern Orthodox Easter arrived later in the year and was welcomed by beautiful spring summer weather. Pascha observations started at the beginning of the week with Good Friday observed May 3rd and Easter Sunday celebrated May 5th. Kalo Pascha is Happy Easter in Greek. Greek Easter is a beautiful time of year. A great time to reflect on what is good in our world.

Paschal Light

These photos were taken in the early hours after midnight. We gathered for a small traditional meal at home after the saturday night Liturgy. We transported the lit candles home from church and lit an oil lamp that burns with olive oil. They call this flame “light of the resurrection”, It came from the alter of a Greek Orthodox church. I’m not the most religious person but I do love spirituality, tradition and heritage.

Enjoy this set taken in the kitchen where modern meets traditionalism. Peace and love to all of us.

Rice Lake, Ontario – Spring

Gores Landing on Rice Lake. Taken on a beautiful spring day in April. A striking difference from when I was here a month ago and the lake was covered in ice. The time I saw the otter, related post: Rice Lake Otter

5:30 pm EDT – April 21, 2013 | Niagara River | North From Queenston, ON | Taken on a Samsung Galaxy S3

The Niagara River flows north from Lake Erie to Lake Ontario. It forms part of the border between the Province of Ontario in Canada and New York State in the United States.
This shot is taken from the scenic Niagara Parkway on Canadian side of the border looking north from Queenston, Ontario. A great view of the United States and Lewiston, NY across the river.

On Weekends The Tower Cranes Stand Silent.

During the week, there’s a flurry of construction activity underway in Toronto’s West Don Lands. Tower cranes are a common fixture here as they’ve been throughout Toronto since the condo construction boom began a few years ago. Signs of change in this neighbourhood are now becoming apparent. It’s an interesting area to explore on weekends. ^ Photos by John Zeus

2:30pm Saturday February 23, 2013 | Bloor-Yorkville, Toronto Ontario, Canada

Strolling down Cumberland Avenue…

…on a beautiful Toronto wintry February afternoon looking at the process of making ice sculptures at Bloor-Yorkville’s Icefest. It was fun! Packed with guests, and hard to get good shots.

This year’s theme was “Wonderful and Whimsical” and took guests on a journey through a magical enchanted garden. IceFest transformed Bloor-Yorkville into a wonderland with fantastical sculptures including whimsical winged fairies, charming and adorable gnomes, oversized butterflies, magical flowers, trees and plants carved from 35,000 lbs. of ice.

The downtown Toronto neighbourhood just sparkled with excitement as Bloor-Yorkville IceFest introduced whimsy and warmed some of our hearts during this chilly winter. ^

Have you seen the little piggies, Crawling in the dirt…THE BEATLES

The difference between involvement and commitment is like ham and eggs. The chicken is involved; the pig is committed. – Martina Navratilova

I learned long ago, never to wrestle with a pig. You get dirty, and besides, the pig likes it. -George Bernard Shaw

Primate and elephant and even pig societies show considerable evidence of care for others, parent-child bonding, solidarity in the face of danger, and so on. – Christopher Hitchens
