re·sil·ience 1. the capacity to withstand or to recover quickly from difficulties; toughness. 2. the ability of a substance or object to spring back into shape; elasticity. The thirteen year old and his CKATT Blue U14 Boys team fell short of medalling in their 2024 Ontario Cup Division playoffs this weekend. This group of smart, passionate, coachable, and eager basketballers are to be congratulated for ending the season better players and even better teammates. Where will their basketball journey take each of them next?

The green total eclipse series. Finally got around to putting together a composite of all the phases that I photographed during a three hour period on eclipse day.

4th out of 148 teams. That’s where the youngest and his Mississauga Monarchs U12 Boys ended the Ontario Basketball League season. That’s an enviable position to have landed, one that all involved with this team can be very proud to have accomplished. I, for one, can’t wait to see what this team will do next! 👑🏀 #monarchselite #wearefamily #makeway #weareelite #omsystem #ThisWhyWePlay #BallDontLie #Mississauga #basketball #monarchsbasketball #basketballphotography #orange #EverydayCanada #EverydayEverywhere #basketballphotography #sportsphotography #xeistsports #ontariosveryown @monarchsbasketball @obabball @omsystem.cameras @monarchsbasketballelite @mississaugabasketball @coachandrewaleks @xeistsports @kelseyserinmills
Chaos or control? Spring Hellebores are popping up.
The Mississauga Monarchs U12 Girls are competing at the Provincial Championships and they dazzled in the game we watched. And their hype song is “Eye of the Tiger“ by Survivor.

On to the medal round. The youngest and his Mississauga Monarchs U12 Boys team have just two games remaining in the 2024 Ontario Basketball Provincial Championships.

What color is the sun? Green is what I got when I failed to remove my 16.6 stop solar filter during the total eclipse.
Phases. The sun transitions to the Total Eclipse.
I’m not an astrophotographer, an astrophysicist, an astronomer, nor Astro Boy. But maybe, just maybe, a total solar eclipse chaser? We had worried about the weather forecast for days, shoutout to the Weather Network app. We prayed and uttered superstitious sayings for the cloud cover to dissipate the morning of. And we were astonished for our good fortune this afternoon. #solareclipse2024 #totalsolareclipse #totalsolareclipse2024 #solareclipse #totality #astrophotography #omsystem #EverydayCanada #EverydayEverywhere #brantford @weathernetwork @omsystem.cameras @city_of_brantford

In recent days the U14 and the youngest worked hard on their leadership skills, doing their best to extract the most out of their enthusiastic and game teammates. Basketball is life…including middle school basketball.

In the end, a single point differential and a good look at the buzzer separated the youngest and his U12 Mississauga Monarchs from claiming the Hoop City Basketball League title. While painfully disappointed with the result, the boys will wake up in the morning and be proud of their accomplishment.

Yesterday the youngest spent the day of his 12th birthday doing what he loves. He and his Mississauga Monarchs U12 Boys played two games in OBLX action. With each game he and his teammates show something new in terms of skills, IQ, and ever growing trust in each other and confidence in themselves. 👑🏀 #monarchselite #wearefamily #makeway #weareelite #omsystem #ThisWhyWePlay #BallDontLie #Mississauga #basketball #monarchsbasketball #basketballphotography #orange #EverydayCanada #EverydayEverywhere #basketballphotography #sportsphotography #xeistsports #ontariosveryown @monarchsbasketball @obabball @omsystem.cameras @monarchsbasketballelite @mississaugabasketball @coachandrewaleks @hoopdomeinc @xeistsports @kelseyserinmills

Ironic. Across the river is the ERCO Mondiale chemical plant where the ducks and geese are stranded on the Lièvre river. Chemicals and nature do not mix!
Josephine and Napoleon. I have become attached to these two and named them since we discovered one has a badly injured wing and cannot fly. We feed them every day and are hoping for a rescue or recovery.
Stranded. This pair of Canada Geese look content and healthy but one has a badly injured wing and cannot fly. They mate for life so the other stays too. They are stuck on the Lièvre river for the winter.

Now’s the place and here’s the time! The thirteen year old and his CKATT Blue U14s took everything that was thrown at them this past CYBL weekend and emerged with a couple of wins and a reputation for not backing down. #omsystem #ThisWhyWePlay #BallDontLie #Mississauga #basketball #basketballphotography #EverydayCanada #EverydayEverywhere #ckatt #ckattbasketball #basketballphotography #sportsphotography #cybl #omsystem #om1 @omsystem.cameras @ckattbasketball @cyblnews

Yesterday core pieces of the CKATT 2010 Fil-Heritage team got shots up and scrimmaged against kuyas and manongs, who are older brothers, older male cousins, or older male relatives in an extended Filipino family. It was a good run as the boys were tested and saw what they’re capable of becoming. The kuyas and manongs were especially gracious in teaching the boys the finer points of the game: how to use their size and speed to establish position or to create separation and free up space to operate. Let’s go! 🇵🇭🇨🇦🏀 #omsystem #ThisWhyWePlay #BallDontLie #Mississauga #basketball #basketballphotography #filipino #pinoy #filcan #asianathlete #kuya #manong #EverydayCanada #EverydayEverywhere #ckatt #ckattbasketball #basketballphotography #sportsphotography @omsystem.cameras @ckattbasketball

The two CKATT U14 teams gathered together for their Holidays Skills Competition last night. The thirteen year old emerged victorious in the completing the obstacle course in the fastest time and was mobbed promptly by celebrating teammates.

Indoor or outdoor? Mia likes a bit of both. #ourfotoworld38
Ankle injuries. A highly anticipated four game CYBL U14 weekend screeched to a halt minutes into the first game when the thirteen year old hurt himself again.
