#TodaysLake

I had an idea last year as I was riding to work more often than not. I ride along the waterfront and I'm always astounded by how different the lake is, every single day. It's always beautiful but depending on the sun, clouds, time of day, wind, wildlife, etc. it always presents a new picture.

Once I started riding this year, I decided to stop every day and take a picture of the lake as it was on that particular day, and tag it on Instagram as #TodaysLake. It seems that Instagram doesn't have a way of searching instances of a hashtag by a specific person, so I may think about porting them to another platform so they're more easily searchable, but you can browse through my Instagram account (which is largely #TodaysLake photos, lately) here.

Here are a couple of my favourites so far:

Ride for Heart

This is unrelated to creative projects, but I think I'd like to use this space for public updates about my life in general - those just usually happen to be related to creative projects. :)

On Sunday (May 31) I'm riding in Ride for Heart, which is a fundraiser for the Heart and Stroke Foundation. They close off the Don Valley Parkway and the Gardiner Expressway to cars and let cyclists ride along it, which is great fun. I'm doing the 50km distance.

The Heart and Stroke Foundation is a charity close to my heart, so I'd appreciate it if you'd consider donating to my ride. You can find my fundraising page here.

Your generosity is greatly appreciated! :)
