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.

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.

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.
