trippin' in the fall on the toronto islands

sorry to be such a friggin' cockroach around here lately, but i wanna get this shit done before i forget. so today, pocahontas and i took a little trip over to the toronto islands. for those of you who don't know what i'm talking about, toronto is a city in the canadas and there are a series of islands (3 big ones and a bunch of really tiny ones that suck) in the lake just south of the downtown core, accessible only by a magical ferry-boat helmed by none other than charon! really? i don't know..... so, anyway, i had the day off work and the weather was absolutely and unseasonably beautiful (26 deg. on oct. 22? we're in deep shit......), so i went to the eye-lands. grabbed a couple delicious empanadas in kensington market beforehand and took half a dozen apples with me so i wouldn't die from hunger in the wilds. below are some random images taken throughout the day......(dai?)
off the ferry and onto the island, charon paid and onward to freedom.......
weird/cool bike sculpture thing at a tree on ward's island
at the same "sculpture" - look closely, there's a bike hanging in the tree......bicyclynched?
big sky country.....amazing cloud formations
the end of the world
blair witch/wickerman gateway to paradise....all woven by hand from twigs and small branches. beauty.
feeding satan an apple core.
no shit!! duder nearly took a chunk out of my brooks.....maybe he sensed that my saddle was his dad. there's now a small tooth mark where he got it. awesome. seriously, i'm stoked.
ontario autumn.
rollin' along.
on the boardwalk.
wall behind the bathrooms (closed for the season? well, guess that means i'll be micturating on the wall). someone put a single stone/potsherd/clay piece on each of the protruding bricks. neat.
another wood-woven gateway to the beach. awesome, actually.
look at that gear ratio!!!!! like the millennium falcon and shit......
pocahontas nestled amongst the birches.
a nice reward at the end of the day.


see you on the road, vv.
