I Keep On Falling

I am so lucky to live in Toronto, especially central, near so many beautiful parks and trails.  It's so very lovely all year round but my favorite time is autumn.  The bright colored leaves and the brisk yet sunny days invite me to wear my favorite sweaters or flannel shirts and sip on yummy pumpkin spiced lattes.  Already this year we have visited some amazing places here in Toronto like Brick Works, Cryptopolis, Broadview Park and Trail and more!  I uploaded some of my pics to my flickr but here are a few of my favorite shots so far.




Here is a great article on the top 10 places to see fall foliage in Toronto.    There are a lot of other amazing places here too but if you are just visiting then try to see some of these listed in the article.  Also Hamilton, Ontario which is the capitol of waterfalls in the world is gorgeous any time of year but again I am really in awe of the stunning colors on top of the existing beauty!

It's also time to go to spooky parts that are rumored to be haunted like in the book guide Haunted Toronto by John Robert Colombo!  It's not only creepy but it's also historic and lots of fun too.  Some places seem so peaceful and innocent while others had a bit of a creep factor.  When The Bright Pearl was open I felt kind of uneasy there because it did seem to have a lot of energy in the air, almost like there was a spiraling, vibrant and cold forces mixed all together there.

Even the cup I had my pumpkin spiced latte served in was so pretty.  Yes, of course I took a picture of it too without the protector sleeve. :)


I just wanted to add a couple of my favorite Halloween pictures I took this year too!  It was a great one and I wanted to share them with all of you.  My husband pointed out the most perfect pumpkin at one of my favorite Old East York, Central Toronto, Circa 1920s solid red brick building in our area.  The next is a picture of my parents house that I helped decorate and it turned out really great.   




I also had some amazing experiences too.  Celebrating the Moon Festival and going to the Madonna concert opening night at the ACC.  I will post pictures of all that on my Flickr shortly.  I just wanted to add a couple pictures now that I took from my iPod.

Visited The Wonderful Royal Ontario Museum / ROM

For two adults the general admission plus an exhibit came out to $87.00 taxes included so around $43.50 each but I felt it was well worth it.  I've been to the ROM a couple times before and it keeps getting better!  The only thing I would have changed is that we could photograph pieces in the exhibit. I do understand though because they want more people to come and don't want their treasures to be spoiled.

'Tis The Season For Giving To Those In Need

It's a must that I donate to some of my local charities this time of year so that some that are in need don't go without.  Seems that some are a bit lost in gift giving to those that often have so much already, and it's usually for very expensive things, that they don't need either, so that those really in need continue to want for the littlest of things.  I don't want to preach to anyone at all.  To each his own.  However, for myself, I like to give modest gifts this time of year to only a few people that I am close to, so that I can donate more.  I already gave to the Daily Bread Food Bank and they had 3 lovely e cards that you can send as gifts to those that you wish to make the donation in the name of.  The one I selected is above.  It shows others that you haven't forgotten them at Christmas and hopefully they will follow your example.   Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.  Best to those kind people in 2015! Warmest Rega...

Niagara Falls, Ontario Power Plant & Floral Showhouse

I love Niagara Falls, both the Canadian and American sides.  Not only do you have one of the natural wonders of the world but the is so much amazingness there too from attractions, to parks, to restaurants and much more!  I'm so blessed to live only an hour and a half by car.  This past time we specifically went to visit two attractions and the falls.  First we went to see The Niagara Power Plant that includes the fabulous Tunnel where you can see the falls so close at a different vantage point. Then we went to the lovely Floral Showhouse too.  We only went for the day.  We then grabbed a burger at We The Fine (WTF) Burger and it was so good.  I highly recommend it all!  I've been going to Niagara since I was a baby!  My parents loved going there too.  They are originally from the South of Italy and everyone from there that visits Buffalo or Ontario or both makes it a point to visit Niagara Falls.  They definitely aren't wrong! ...
