A Piece I've Been Working On For A Few Weeks - Finally Done. An Amalgam Of Some Thoughts And Images I

Spacey painting tonight as I resume art night Mondays at #sitelines #sitelinesopenstudio on James St N after a one month break. Nice to see everyone again. #arttherapy #centre3 (at Artforms)

Devil's Punchbowl Falls. I figured after all the rain from the last few days, these falls would be fairly active (they were). I used my cell phone for these shots and video. Last image is lower Punchbowl Falls. I had to pick off ticks after leaving this area - even after prespraying myself with Off. #hamont #discoverhamilton #devilspunchbowl #waterfallcapitaloftheworld #hamiltonwaterfalls #lotsofticks (at Devil's Punch Bowl (Hamilton, Ontario))

This tiny, tiny creature, imaged with scanning electron microscopy, is a diatom - a single-celled microorganism in a silica shell 🔬 They’re incredibly abundant in the soil and oceans - there are so many that they produce around 20 percent of Earth’s oxygen! 😱 📷: CSIRO https://ift.tt/2lYLr1e

Sunset between the clouds from my balcony after a cool but nice day. Just a smartphone shot so exposure isn't ideal. #hamont #discoverhamilton #sunset (at Hamilton Mountain)

Down at Pier 8 for the tall ships. Getting up close and personal. Lots of people. And it's clear, sunny and warm. Happy Canada Day 150. #hamont #discoverhamilton #pier8 #bayfrontpier8 #tallships #tallshipshamilton #canadaday #canada150 (at Pier 8 Skating Rink)

Brian Greene asks and answers: "How to Make Science Great Again? Make it accessible..." Science is already quite accessible - for those who understand the very basics. The problem with many of the conventional solutions proposed is that they make the assumption people understand basic science, at least at a grade 9 or 10 level. Sadly most don't even have this level of knowledge, and more importantly, they lack the understanding and comprehension of what they have been taught. They may have their school grades, but they don't understand how it applies to the real world or how the scientific method works. Most don't even care about their ignorance. Until we fix fundamental science education and the apathy towards science, we'll never get beyond the ignorance of the general population. #BrianGreene #science #scienceeducation #makesciencegreatagain #MSGA #MAGA #dumbingdownofamerica #dumbingdownoftheworld #dumbingdownofcanada #scienceisamazing #scienceisempowering (at Planet Earth)

If you get hungry at #Supercrawl, there are more than 35 food trucks at either end of James St N near the main stages. And lots of wonderful restaurants and bars in between. Fantastic selection of tastes, flavours and smells for any palate or dietary requirements. @Supercrawl #hamont #discoverhamilton #artcrawl #artwork #arthamilton #jamesstreetnorth #jamesstreetnorthartcrawl #foodie #foodtruck (at Hamilton Supercrawl)

One-night workshop at Siteline studio tonight was making paper lanterns with Hitoko Okada. This was my end result. Very geometric decorating - not surprising for an engineering type. Thanks to @centre3_ and a grant from the Ontario Trillium fund. @sitelinescentre3 #arttherapy #artforms #paperlantern (at Artforms)

At The Spoons #thespoons concert tonight at the Festival of Friends #festivaloffriends at Gage Park in Hamilton. Great to see both Gord and Sandy play some of their classics and hear some tracks from their new album. I had a crush on Sandy in the 80's and she's still looking good. 😍 Big crowd there to hear them play. Even my good friend pretended hard that she was having a good time. Lol Someone even brought their pet Burmese python to the show. #hamont #hamiltongagepark #gagepark #sandyhorne @amethystjeantiu (at Hamilton Gage Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0xM6Uhnk_j/?igshid=1wszut13yeirh
