Sunrise, Sunset

One of the best things about the new condo is the orientation of my suite. The windows in the living room and master bedroom face east, giving an incredible view of Toronto's downtown skyline. On the flip side, the guest bedroom, balcony and living room face northwest, providing vistas all the way to Pearson International.

Of course this also means catching the occasional sunrise...

 

...and spectacular sunsets too!

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!!

Where I've Been

Now that labour day has passed and summer has unofficially come to a close, I hope to get back to posting regular blog entries here at Cherish Toronto. Since the beginning of July, most of my days have been spent by the shores of Lake Huron. Now before you start feeling jealous, I should point out that my days were spent working, not relaxing on the beach. Things will be back to normal next week when I return home to Toronto. I can't wait to experience city life again!!!

In the meantime, here are some of my summer snapshots:

Time to Relax?

Summer is unofficially underway here in Ontario, and that means I will be spending a lot of time on the road, traveling in circles - seriously, circles. Once a week I drive from the Toronto office to the store in Wasaga Beach, to the other store in Grand Bend, then back to the office. At least when there are a few minutes to relax, there's a beautiful view to appreciate:
