Scarborough Bluffs, November 1991

These are some photos of the Scarborough Bluffs in Toronto I took in November of 1991 - might be fun to compare these to see how erosion has changed them. They are mostly sand.

 It looks like there was a tide going out! It must have been water flowing back after being piled up by the wind.

The GPS info were added later by me and is just a guess - also, I know this was in November 1991, not sure of day. I remember talking about the tide with an English nanny pushing a pram. Later spoke with a Polish man who wanted to talk about his friend Ernst Zündel, a neo-Nazi holocaust denier.

Hickory Tussock Moth catterpillar

These are supposed to have an itching venom on them and even a poisonous bite - didn't bite me or make me itch, but probably it takes the hairs to break off in your skin to do that. On its way to make a cocoon - it uses its hairs in the construction so the cocoon also will be painful to predators. 

The adventures of the solitary unicyclist

From about 1991 - went down the steep hill on Gordon Street to downtown Guelph from the University on a unicycle!

Orchid the polydactyl brewery cat

Orchid is a polydactyl cat at Beau's Brewery in Vankleek Hill - she had these 'thumbs' on her front paws - also she had 3 ovaries - she also is ginger colored, which the people at the brewery says is usually something only male cats are.  (Some females are but it is rarer - both of their parents have to be ginger)

 Yes, she does scratch when you rub her belly! Doesn't draw blood but they are efficient claws!
