really-shit: Vietnam’s Golden Bridge Appearing like something out of the fantasy realm, the Golden Bridge in Da Nang, Vietnam is a 150-meter curved walkway suspended 1,400m above sea level. Two large hands seemingly suspend and connect the bridge to the surrounding hills. Designed by TA Landscape Architecture, this project is a part of Vietnam’s $2 billion infrastructure…

Well, I don’t believe in any god and I don’t live in America but I can’t deny that “eric” is in America (as illustrated by these overgrown bushes) and our southern cousins often ask for God’s blessing. Maybe, by this inclusion, I will stay outa the Hell I figured I was otherwise destined for when…

My friend’s recent appreciation of the simple things in life brought the following thoughts to mind: “The little things in life are BIG. The more we appreciate the little things in life, the less we need ‘things’ to be happy. If you advance that logic as a mathematical progression, as our appreciation of little things…

I ran some errands on my two-wheeler today despite the 35c heat. Lots of people cooling off at the Beach. Promenade on Dunlop Street was attracting folks looking for a deal while others enjoyed cold beers on street patios. Meridian Place Cenataph was officially dedicated yesterday with a solemn public ceremony where an urn of…

A creation of my dear daughter, Rachel. I found it appealing and it piqued my curiosity. How many words can you form from the swirling steam rising from the hot tea?

ericvanwesenbeeck: All last week the four young ones were alone in the Nest and relied on mom and dad to bring them lots of juicy worms, dropping them into their gaping beaks, from which they grew even bigger. By Sunday, the four of them were spilling out of the Nest as they tried resting for…

Almost two weeks ago the four Robins hatched. Momma Robin has untiringly brought them food and has been standing on the edge of the Nest because there is no longer room in the nest for her. I think she may even be resting in sight of the Nest so she can still provide security, chasing…

So, I was wrong. There is in fact four young robins who have emerged from the four blue eggs! When I last posted I only saw three beaks straining upwards for nourishment and I assumed on egg did not hatch. After they shuffled around in the tiny nest, a fourth beak appeared from beneath the…

The sunny and cool day offered us an opportunity to explore the Minesing Wetlands, along Willow Creek just northwest of Snow Valley. Nick helped Mom and me get mom’s canoe on and off the car and in and out of the water where we all enjoyed a peaceful paddle along the high waters of the…

ericvanwesenbeeck: Well, it’s been almost a week since the three Hatchlings emerged from the four eggs in the Front Door Nest. Momma Robin is very protective and we try not to disturb her and her young family too much. Poppa bird has been making appearances, as well, helping to provide food and protection. Curiosity drove…

Take a good look at this photograph. Have you ever wondered about what’s actually happening when they set up for a pose like this? Do you think what is going through their heads at this moment has anything even remotely to do with the matching headline? I don’t. Look at it. What a pretentious pose!…

humansofnewyork: “When I went to college, I thought about joining one of those Asian student organizations. But I wasn’t sure if I wanted to go ‘all in’ on being Asian. I had to ask myself how integral it was to my identity. I’ve never been very traditional. I grew up in a white town on…

April Showers of freezing rain, sleet, snow and a Nor’Easter howling off of Kempenfelt Bay driving tiny daggers into my face and pointing the Canadian flag opposite its prevailing direction. The husky in Dano loved it. The icy desolation at a normally joyfully bustling Centennial Park is a clear indication that townfolk have hunkered down…
