Bikes, Bao and Birds.

Artwork by Chris Piascik

Today's goodness comes in the form of bikes, bao and birds!
We hopped on our bikes and followed the Iron Horse Trail Uptown Waterloo. Some new improvements and markings on the path since we last rode!
We stopped for Dim Sum, enjoyed some bao (steamed buns filled with bbq pork deliciousness!) and a pot of tea and wandered up to Wordsworth Books where I found this book,

The Iridescence of Birds, by Patricia MacLachlan.  A lovely picture book about the early inspiration and influences of Henri Mattise.  Full of love and light; a gentle nod to the powerful forces of love and creativity in the absence of material wealth. Beautifully illustrated by Hadley Hooper.  Read this book!  It will tell you something good!
