2025 Toronto Korean Festival

Friday night my husband and I noticed a big event at Mel Lastman's Square so we decided to get some Green P and check it out!  I'm so glad we did because we found a fabulous Korean Festival happening and we had such a great time.  We had some yummy Korean food and treats there too and it was so good.  We really love the Korean culture and food after years of visiting and enjoying Koreatown in Toronto.  I brought my LPS petite Blythe Doll Sophia along too and took some pictures.  The music was live there was KPop and a live DJ.  It was really wonderful and so many of us were singing and dancing.  Unfortunately there was a pickpocket incident according to the announcer and they stole a woman's phone so he advised us to be very careful.  We appreciated their honesty that probably helped prevent other thefts so we made sure to be extra vigilant.          

 

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.  

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!

 

The Different Butterflies I Photographed In 2025 This Year

I combined my love of being out in nature, photography and butterflies and this is what I was so fortunate to capture over the summer.
