Castles, painting and birthdays

Casa Loma, Toronto

Today we took a short walk in a lovely neighbourhood
close to our own. We drive by Casa Loma almost every
day, but it doesn't look the way it did today at the end
of a very pretty street rising up in the distance.

I worked on the Water Series Image 3 today, but
it's not at a finite stage, so I can't show you. I'm adding
shadow, but the shadow on this image is not as
defined as on the other two, so I am in the midst of
figuring out what's going to happen next.

Tonight we went to a friend's birthday -- a delightful
event, small with great company and delicious
food. We had a lot of fun. Now it's late and time
for bed.

If you come to Toronto you have to visit our "castle".
I remember going to a formal, or prom there when I
was in high school, but even though it's incredibly
close we've never visited it, or taken our children
to see it. All that's going to change this year I'm
sure.

Have a dreaming-of-castles-on-Spadina-Avenue-in-Toronto day.
