A Fun Afternoon With My Favourite 4-legged Nephew, Carl @sdit_carl And His Daddy Jake @jake_and_carl

When wandering around #Supercrawl, be sure to look down various alleys and backstreets for local street art. A lot if creative works. Some are still being painted this weekend. @Supercrawl #hamont #discoverhamilton #artcrawl #artwork #arthamilton #jamesstreetnorth #jamesstreetnorthartcrawl #streetart (at Hamilton Supercrawl)

My Easter Island Maoi statue is finally complete. My first carved clay figurine. Thanks to Keith and Cathy at HARRRP pottery for their help and suggestions. Turned moderately well. @harrrp #harrrp #arttherapy #pottery #claysculpture #maoi (at HARRRP)

Street art off Hughson St N behind the CBC Hamilton office near the Spice Factory. #hamont #discoverhamilton

The sun finally came out a bit and the temp rose a little above freezing, so I decided to get out for a hike. Went down to Bayfront Park and the Waterfront Trail. The breeze was chilly however the sun felt nice. Stopped by the nesting mute swans that are there each year. My friend Janine had posted that they had laid their 1st 2 eggs. I was curious how.more had been deposited since they take 2 or 3 weeks to lay the full clutch. Fortunately mom didn't make me wait too long. I saw she had at least 9 eggs so far as she stood up after preening and turning the eggs. Not sure if she is finished with laying. The photos were only taken with my camera phone but the eggs are clear in some of the images. #muteswans #nestingswans #swaneggs #bayfrontpark #waterfronttrail #hamont (at Hamilton, Ontario)

#Supercrawl set up on Fri noon. Almost done one of the main stages near #drdisc on Wilson St. #hamont #Hamilton #jamesstreetnorthartcrawl #jamesstreetnorth (at James St. North District)

My clay sculpting of an Easter Island Maoi (Rapa Nui) is hand-finished. Now to engrave some of the subtle artwork and paint it before firing. Main shaping and firing done at HARRRP, fine detail artwork will be done at home with Dremel tools. #arttherapy #harrrp #hamont (at HARRRP)

James St N artcrawl. Another talented local artist Celyn Church who makes wonderful stained glass lighthouse and panels - among other things. I'm pleased to say to bought one of her panels for the living room. @celynartsco #hamont #artcrawl #discoverhamilton #jamesstreetnorth #jamesstreetnorthartcrawl (at James Street North Art Crawl)

James St N artcrawl. Local artist Corey Weavers and thick crowds. Could easily justify closing off the street it's so busy, hard to walk around. #hamont #artcrawl #discoverhamilton #jamesstreetnorth #jamesstreetnorthartcrawl (at James St. North District)
