Toronto, Canada

You may have noticed that this photo, unlike the previous ones, does not come from an exotic far-away place. Actually, I'm not sure if that's necessarily fair - sure, Toronto is by no means exotic for me or any of my (potential) Canadian readers, but I suppose for any (potential) overseas readers it is a foreign and unknown place. Anyways, semantics aside, I took this photo during a recent walk in Toronto's Lawrence Park. The park itself is a great place to take a stroll on a lazy Saturday and is actually part of a greater ravine system where you can waste away countless hours walking around (in warmer weather that is).

The photo itself really has nothing to do with Toronto - aside from the fact that under the recent reign of lovely Canadian winter weather we've been having I can somehow relate to the the dead, fragile, snow touched leaf. However, I thought I'd post it for a few reasons: first, (and if you'll excuse my vanity) I really do like this picture; second, if I'm able to keep this blog going for the long run there will come a time when I no longer have photos from exciting, (real) exotic places to post, so I'll have to resort to putting up pics from homegrown adventures; third, this is my blog, and with very little readership I'm not really worried about any complaints, or what not.

Regardless of the reasons, I hope you enjoy. Let me know if you have any Toronto related questions. Also, as I was extremely lax in uploading photos from my previous travels on to facebook, let me know if there are any photos you do want to see.
