Hello all! It’s February 1st 2020 and we took the first month of the year to piece together some photos of our adventures in 2019. We hope you enjoy the photos and here’s to a new year!

We began our journey at around 11:30 pm Eastern Standard Time in Toronto on October 5 2019. We started on Danforth Avenue and Coxwell ave. The description below explains what this particular installation is about.

Hello everyone, it’s that time of year and we are so happy that we can share our day at the Santa Claus Parade with you. This years Parade will features 34 floats, 20 marching bands, 2,250 volunteers. Thanks to all involved with the parade, if all involved didn’t participate this event wouldn’t be possible.

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.

Hello everyone, we hope you had a great summer and are excited about the fall season that is now upon us. Our blog today is about the Toronto International BuskerFest for Epilepsy 2019. We start with our journey to BuskerFest, at the Corner of Coxwell Ave. and Eastern Ave.. There were people out directing people along with signage.

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.

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. 

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 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.

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.
