Rabbit visitor at my new house
It is my neighbour's pet and it is not afraid of human being strangers with a camera. It continued to explore my lawn while I took pictures for 5 minutes straignt! It is an excellent rabbit model!

"No Penguin"
I like penguins and anything with a penguin picture on it will catch my attention. Saw this "no penguin" sign on a styrofoam cooler one day, and found out it means "Refrigerate - do not freeze". This is not the easiest to understand, but very cute!

Swans
Visited Mill Pond last weekend and saw this beautiful pair of swans. However, I did not have my camera with me. I took this picture with my iPhone.

Early spring
Had a nice walk at Mill Pond after lunch today! I enjoyed the warm early spring sun - the ducks and geese probably enjoyed the sun as much as I did!

Pan-fried Halibut
Did another cooking experiment on Saturday: tried to follow the recipe but changed the fish to Halibut, and the green vegetable to bok choi. The final product looks somewhat similar to that in the cook book, but the taste might differ a lot...

Leek, potato and haddock soup
Wanted to make something special for tonight's dinner, so tried a recipe from Gordon Ramsay's cookbook. Used my blender for the first time as well. Two inexperienced cooks took 2 hours to make this. The soup turned out ok. The presentation also resembled the one in the cookbook! The only thing I would change next time is the amount of curry powder - it is a little to spicy to our taste.

Downtown Toronto
Took 2 quick shots in downtown Toronto from the car at 7:30 am last Saturday. I would not be in downtown Toronto at this hour if it was not for the shopping trip to Buffalo!
