“Babe” George Herman Ruth Listen now ’cause this is the “truth” Into lake Ontario he crushed his first pro dinger In a way, Canada can claim this notorious swinger. ∞ Submitted as part of “National Poetry Writing Month – 2017” (#NaPoWriMo2017).

Happy Canada Day
The first of a series taken on my recent exploration of the Îles-de-la-Madeleine … what better way than to start with a photo of a flag from the ship’s mast on this day of Canada’s birth.
Winter’s Capital
Yes, at the risk of furthering certain stereotypes of Canada and our nation’s capital, it seemed only fitting to end this series by publishing images of our Parliament under the cloak of last week’s ice storm. While some may prefer these in colour, I think, again, the black and white treatment suits the embattled limestone…
Fielding Estates – Riesling (2012)
Fielding Estates is one of the first Niagara wineries to which I was introduced and one which I immediately gravitated towards. I first visited it soon after it opened, almost a decade ago, and their wines have been trusted friends ever since. I was first served tastings by Heidi in their start up Quonset ……

Karlo Estates – Lake on the Mountain Riesling (2010)
As popular as Karlo’s rosé (previously reviewed here), I would wager their biggest seller is probably this Riesling, and for good reason. As you will hear when you taste this wine at the winery, this wine is emblematic of Richard Karlo and his reputation for bringing balance and creativity into his wine. With a bit more upfront…
A Room of My Own ~ My Canadian Voice
Any discussion of a writer’s voice will surely evoke allusions to Virginia Woolf’s emancipating book, A Room of One’s Own. Writing with her own strong voice, she breaks barriers and all but seizes a voice that she proclaims her own … and in the process she creates an anthem for women writers the world over….
Ale No. 5 ~ “Spring Maple” (Belgian Blonde Ale), Lake of Bays Brewing Company
Fifth up is a unifying beer if ever there was one. If you like beer, but not sure if you like maple, you’ll like this beer; if you like maple but on the fence regarding beer, this will knock you over the fence. Not sure you like blondes, think you’re more of a darker drinker, think…
Karlo Estates – Frontenac Gris Rosé (2011)
Nothing quite says summer heat like a good rosé. It’s the wine I reach for when I’m hot and parched but still want wine. While I’d almost always prefer a good red, in the heat of the summer, when the ambient outdoor temperature will warm a glass of red before you get through a few…
