Toronto: City of Gold?

I love being home just as the setting sun hits downtown Toronto (this photo was taken at 4:49pm, January 1st, 2013), turning the buildings into glittering towers of gold.

PS - I'm so excited that I FINALLY figured out how to put larger pictures on the blog, which allows me to show you amazing photos like this one. Yay!!

Why the CN Tower Turned Purple & Green

This Friday night, June 15th, the CN Tower was awash in a combination of purple and green. The display is just one of many events planned by the City of Toronto to commemorate the Bicentennial of the War of 1812. This weekend, as part of the city's commemoration launch, Fort York is offering free admission to The Encampment, a creative installation of 200 tents running nightly in conjunction with the Luminato Festival. I hope you all enjoy the weekend!!

Peekaboo

Our eyes are not just to see where we're going, but to observe the world around us. There is beauty in the simplest of objects, and all we have to do is slow down and appreciate it. During a Sunday afternoon walk I took some time to Cherish Toronto.

The Morning After

St. Patrick's Day is not just a day for green clothing, green milkshakes, green hair, and green beer. It's also a great day to show off your green (in more ways than one) LED lighting. Last night Toronto's CN Tower joined the party, turning green for the evening:

I hope everyone has a great "Morning After St. Patrick's Day"!!
