Pumpkin Parade 2019 at Sorauren Avenue Park in Toronto
Hi everyone. We hope you had a great Halloween. We know it was raining in the Toronto area most of the night, but there is always the day after Halloween to celebrate all the creative pumpkins. Our Blog today is about our walk through Sorauren Avenue Park’s Pumpkin Parade that took place on November 1st 2019. Pumpkin Parades are growing in popularity across Toronto and the entire country. We wonder if they will become more popular then Halloween at the rate that their popularity grows.
Toronto Buskerfest
Hello everyone — we hope you had a great summer and are looking ahead to the fall season. Today’s post documents Toronto International BuskerFest for Epilepsy 2019, a lively street performance festival held in Toronto’s east end. We begin with our journey to BuskerFest near the corner of Coxwell Avenue and Eastern Avenue, where clear signage and volunteers were on hand to help guide visitors to the festival grounds.
Raccoons Reimagined @ the CNE
On our most recent visit to The Canadian National Exhibition (CNE), we walked by the Princess Margaret Fountain and discovered these colourful raccoons. We took pictures of all of them because they were decorated so uniquely. There are 4 days left until the CNE shuts down for another year so if you are planning to going, be sure and visit these amazing raccoons. They are very detailed both front and back.
Elora, Ontario
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.
Village of St Jacobs
Here’s our continuation of our day trip to St Jacobs. Our blog on the Farmers’ Market can be found here (St. Jacobs Farmers Market). We didn’t have much time to explore the village of St Jacobs but we did get to go for a little walk. We managed to go into a few shops as well. Most stores have a no photography sign up in them so I did respect that.
St Jacobs Farmers' Market
St. Jacobs Farmers' Market is a popular Ontario tourist destination. It’s known as the largest year-round farmer's market in Canada. I got to explore the Market one Thursday this summer and these are the pictures I took while doing so.
