If you haven’t checked out my gallery recently, you might want to mosey on over there to see some of the photos I’ve taken over the summer.  Here are a few of the most recent additions:

If you’re not my mom, you can also look at my most recently completed pottery project here, here, here and here.  If you are my mom, don’t go there because you will ruin your birthday surprise.

In other, nerdier news, I am terribly excited to start my new classes next week.  It should be a fun year, with three chemistry classes, a smattering of bio, and some english and stats thrown in for good measure.  Anyone want to buy me a new netbook for school?

I spent a day on Toronto Island with my sister and Aunt this week.

Part of what I love about the island is feeling so far from the bustle and concrete  of downtown, without actually having to leave the city limits

There’s the famous CN Tower in the background, looking rather wee.

There were an extraordinary number of spiders in the residential area; I think they must have have a good year.

Do please biggify that one - you really can’t appreciate the sunlight playing on the webs at this resolution.

Couldn’t help taking a few shots of some run-down playground equipment

And I would be remiss if I neglected to post this fantastic custom bike costume that we saw on the ferry.  Apparently the young lady’s boyfriend made it for her.  It was originally a tiger, but then its head fell off

As always, you can find more photos in my gallery.
