I attended the Overdose Awareness Day event at Gage Park on Thu. I helped a little with the Centre3 exhibit by hanging a long rope of pink coloured shoes, each representing approximately 2 deaths last year due to overdose. I signed one shoe on behalf of a dear friend who lost someone very close due to overdose. It can hit anyone which is why awareness and treatment options are so important. Lots of community partners and participants. Some good information, and even a Nalaxone training session by Hamilton Public Health. #hamont #hamiltonca #overdoseawarenessday #gagepark #preventoverdoses #opioidcrisis (at Hamilton Gage Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnIQFgZHWTm/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=dps5ttr2viv0
So looking forward to hearing these wonderfully talented and fun young ladies perform Sat night. If you haven't heard them before, or it's been a long time, you should check it out. Lots of new and revamped material. Hanna, Pamela, Nikki, Gilian and Kendra will melt your hearts and make you laugh. #queensofquirk #hamont #harrrp #hamiltonmusic @queensoquirk @hannabechmusic @islaaerial @905nik https://www.facebook.com/events/302469320257504/?ti=cl Sat Feb 3, 2018 at 6:30pm (at HARRRP)
Orion Nebula - the middle "star" in Orion's sword in the same constellation. A favourite target for all astro-photographers because of its colours and size. It is fairly easy to image without overly fancy equipment. It can even be seen with moderately good binoculars. #orionnebula #astronomy #amateurastronomy #cherrysprings (at Cherry Springs State Park)
Mohawk College (my old alma mater) had a big presence at #Supercrawl with a large stage for local performers, booths and their new mobile portable classroom for City School on display. @Supercrawl #hamont #discoverhamilton #artcrawl #artwork #arthamilton #jamesstreetnorth #jamesstreetnorthartcrawl #mohawkcollege #cityschool @mocityschool #mohawkalumni (at Hamilton Supercrawl)

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)

James St N artcrawl. A few local artist friends have some of their work on display in the Hamilton Artists Inc gallery. Nice seeing them getting recognition for their creative talents. #hamiltonartistsinc #hamont #artcrawl #discoverhamilton #jamesstreetnorth #jamesstreetnorthartcrawl (at Hamilton Artists Inc.)
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)
A print I made tonight at @centre3_ as part of their @sitelinescentre3 Sitelines program. Traced from a photo onto acrylic plate. Then inked and then pressed on to paper. Interesting process. Thanks to Gabe for his instruction and help. I'm pleased with the results of this first attempt. And thanks to @ontrillium for their grant to help make these programs possible. #printmaking #hawkowl #Sitelines #arttherapy #hamont #Centre3 #ontrillium (at Centre3)
