Mount Pleasant Cemetery is lovely at this time of year. Here are some photos I took with my iPhone the other day.

The drive from St. Jacobs to Elora was about 25 minutes long.   Not bad at all.  It was getting late in the day which made the lighting great for photography.

Our first stop was Victoria Park to see the gorge.  Here there was a cul-de-sac to park on (overflow is directed to a nearby parking area).  We walked along a tree-lined path and were able to see glimpses of the Grand River below.  I loved the trees and their roots.  They made for some interesting pictures. 

This year’s Taste of the Danforth took place August 9th to 11th. We attended Saturday afternoon-night as well as Sunday evening. Great entertainment, food and fun! We will let our pictures do all the talking.

Toronto’s Caribbean Carnival’s Grand Parade took place on Saturday August 3rd on Lakeshore Boulevard West.  I ended up near the main stage and got to see the mas bands competition.  What an experience!   High energy and great vibes all around. More pics below. 

I attended the Beaches Jazz StreetFest on Friday night with a friend. We started off at Woodbine Avenue and Queen Street East. The first group of musicians we saw was the Samba Squad, a drumming group lead by award winning percussionist, Rick Shadrach Lazar. This group is very skilled. They had quite the coordination! I wanted to stay to see more but we had to move on and check out some more music.
