Macro Monday – Close-ups at the Winter Holiday Market

last Thursday the family and I went to the Distillery District in Toronto where the Holiday Market was still on

It was another wet and grey day but these close-ups with the rain droplets and bright colours cheered me up.

A Great Way to End the Year

after weeks of dreary grey skies and drizzly weather, a trip to the Centennial Park Conservatory brightened my day

On New Years Eve I decided to check out the Christmas display at the conservatory before it was replaced with the next theme in the New Year. It was probably the busiest I’ve ever seen it. The feature display was filled with poinsettia of all different colours, sizes and shapes. Here are a few photos to wet your appetite.

Christmas for the Dogs at the Berczy Dog Fountain

….in a downtown Toronto park

Last week I attended a luncheon for the Women’s Musical Club of Toronto at a popular restaurant close to Union Station. I took the Go Train ( a short trip from the station close to my house) and I walked to the restaurant which was only a couple of blocks away. As I approached the Flatiron Building I noticed that the park behind it has been decorated for Christmas. Berczy Park was redesigned by Claude Cormier ( no relation) in 2015 and features a fountain with 27 dogs looking up to the top where a bone is perched. There is also one cat facing north looking at a couple of birds. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berczy_Park
