turkey tails

Mushroom season is starting with a variety of bracket fungi apparent throughout Starkey Hill trail. If you're looking for trails to walk check out my Guelph Area Trails website I set up a few years ago - it's got maps and a few photos.

weaving fields of queen anne's lace
are sceptres brown now
with a turned down face
and the wind and the stars
so cold and clear
are heaven's voice and chandelier

p-soir

Despite Stats Can's pronouncement that Guelph is the nation's safest city ugly events occur - drunk men swarming, mauling & spitting on women? Men who can't hold their liquor for another 20 metres? What's with the new men-only pissoirs? What are women who complain told - 'shut up, women should be obscene and not heard'?

the bicycle rack at work

Over 250 people work here - but really you'd have to harbour a death wish to cycle on Woodlawn Road - things are getting better slowly but compared to Montreal and other Canadian cities we have a loooong way to go.
