The Long Shot

at Glen Abbey

'In the 1994 Bell Canadian Open Pro-Am, 

John Daly drove his ball into 16-mile creek from this tee. 

Total distance 390 yards'

'Good Luck and please enjoy one of the most famous tee shots in Canadian Golf'

winter

Winter has not quite disappeared no matter what the calendar says. With the blowing snow we are experiencing at the moment, you probably couldn't even find the stairs, so I hope the sign is still up.

ER for Elizabeth Regina (Queen Mum)

originally designed for the Queen Elizabeth Way, a major highway built in 1930's eventually linking Toronto to the US border.

The originals have mostly disappeared, but reproductions are being made and put up on select bridges and overpasses for respect for the highways heritage.

This reproduction is in Bronte, taken on a beautiful, sunny, spring afternoon yesterday.

it's time

for spring

to arrive

I was blue, just as blue as I could be

Ev'ry day was a cloudy day for me

Then good luck came a-knocking at my door

Skies were gray but they're not gray anymore

Blue skies

Smiling at me

Nothing but blue skies

Do I see

Bluebirds

Singing a song

Nothing but bluebirds

All day long

Never saw the sun shining so bright

Never saw things going so right

Noticing the days hurrying by

When you're in love, my how they fly

Blue days

All of them gone

Nothing but blue skies

From now on

I should care if the wind blows east or west

I should fret if the worst looks like the best

I should mind if they say it can't be true

I should smile, that's exactly what I do

- Irving Berlin, 1926
