Currently there are still a few working telephone booths in Toronto, and I got three of our grandchildren to pose in and around one of them to show interesting juxtapositions of the old versus the new. This is one of my favorites of the shots I took.
As part of my rehab. from my right hip replacement at the end of August, I've been walking two miles a day One day, while walking, I noticed a fossilized impression of a maple leaf in the concrete sidewalk, and when the leaves turned, drove back to the spot with my gear, arranged this composition and grabbed this shot
