Moon Over the Lifeguard Station
Full moon rising over the Leuty Lifeguard Station, one of Toronto’s most iconic landmarks since 1920.
This photo of "the Station" was taken not long after Toronto's Beach Residents celebrated its 100th year anniversary with a plaque commemorating the milestone, as well as safeguarding it as an official historic treasure.
Lifeguards based here are credited with saving more than 6,000 lives, and it continues its service still today. In fact, two former lifeguards have been friends of mine and of my family for many years, one of whom raised the funds needed to save and restore the old Leuty, and the other who has recently purchased a copy of this print.

Autumn Train of Uxbridge
While in the small town of Uxbridge, Ontario, photographing a friend's horses, I drove through town where I came across the old rail yard and this train car abandoned at the end of its useful life. Grey and weathered with age, it spoke to me of a vibrant history well-travelled, and meaningful memories for the thousands of passenger it carried.

Milky Way Silo
Once upon a time, there was a farm on this spot. The farming family and their livestock must have seen this view of the Milky Way a thousand times, but now all that remains is this lone silo standing like a monument to the farm and the people it served under this incredible night sky.

Abandoned Pinkerton Homestead in Snow
Scenic treasures of history pepper the backroads of Central Ontario. Driving the main freeway fron Toronto to Barrie, I caught a glimpse in the distance of this abandoned woodshed-looking structure on the way north somewhere near Pinkerton, Ontario, so I made it a mission to find this place travelling the sideroads on my way back home. After many wrong turns and a hike through wilderness unknown, I was thrilled to finally come upon this long-forgotten homestead. Likely one of many family homes left behind by the development of the 10-lane highway that now runs through this beautiful and peaceful landscape.

Heavenly Peace at The Broadview Hotel copy
Snowy Night on New Year's Day. The twinkling lights in the window of the boutique at the Broadview Hotel, and the fleeting Queen Street streetcar passing by, gave me a quiet reflection and peace of mind that everything is going to be alright.

Blue Moon Over Famview
As the second full moon of October rose in the sky above our Prince Edward County cottage farmview, the sun was just setting behind me to create this magical glow on the autumn trees. It felt like nature's version of street lights turning on to signal our time to go home for dinner.

Blue Moon Silo
On this rare occasion of a second full moon appearing in the same calendar month, and here on Halloween, no less, I had to stake my claim or it with the enchanted old silo on our cottage resort in Prince Edward County.

Bicycle at the Boathouse
Bicycle at the boat house was taken during the final sunset of Spring 2020; a Spring no one in the world will soon forget. And thanks to a child who left their bicycle on this pathway, I found a positive forecast for the first day of summer... signs of life! I’ve taken many photos of this boat house, but this is my new fav by far.

Guild Inn Estate Gate
The Guild Inn Estate has been a treasure of Toronto since the early 1900's, and with the added historic collection of rescued facades and ruins of various demolished downtown Toronto buildings such as bank buildings, the old Toronto Star building and the Granite Club, the grounds are spectacular, as well. Fun fact: My great grandmother on my mother’s side, Nancy Robertson, was head laundress there for about 37 years. Her name was really Agnes but nicknamed Nancy, and my mother, Diann Haist, a famous fine artist herself, didn’t know these details until Spencer Clark, who owned the Guild Inn until 1978 and ran it until 1984, attended one of my mother's exhibitions and told her all about the grandmother she never knew, even though she had been going there for years.
