2017 Just Flew On By!

Last I posted on here was the summer!  Fall just went by so super quick for me, was very busy so I can understand why.  Even still was so fortunate to be able to capture some really amazing nature on some of my down times, however.  I am hoping to find time to go through all my pictures and upload them to my Flickr and include only a few of those that I feel are best to my American Fine Art gallery.

Living in the city does offer a lot of great optic material, especially during the holidays.

The new tunnel is open at Eaton's Centre and it's really amazing! 

The Eaton's Centre Christmas Tree that spanned all the levels of the mall, and then some, was really something too.  

Memorable Summer Including A Cruise To Boldt Castle On Heart Island In New York's Thousand Islands

My husband surprised me with a lovely cruise and not just any cruise, one to Heart Island with a castle!  Talk about romantic and wonderful!  It really didn't even take that long to get there, under two hours and we saw the castle in about an hour.  There was food and drinks on the boat and we had a big breakfast before at the nearby cafe where we picked up our tickets.

As we approached I was very impressed with the lovely castle and grounds too.  It was so wonderful but too bad Mr. Boldt and Mrs. Boldt didn't get to live there because tragically she died before it was finished.  The main floor was all done up and they even have a functioning elevator too but they are still renovating the upper floors so when it's all done I hope my husband and I will go back again to see!

Summerlicious At Cluny In The Distillery District In Toronto July 2017

I selected the chowder, shank steak pink and the chocolate mouse and it was so delicious!  Not only was it excellent the portion was very satisfying too.  I ended up sharing some with my husband too.  The service was excellent as well.  The server was so friendly and caring, it was the cherry on top! 

The area was so amazing too.  Not only is it charming and historic, it's packed with other amazing restaurants and shops too.  It's a five star experience for the soul and I highly recommend it!  One of these days I have to purchase a professional camera because I'd love to capture things better because I believe that I have the eye for it and really love the pictures I take.

Celebrated Canada Day's 150 Years With Fireworks July 2017

We were at Columbia Lake this year to celebrate with fireworks and it was so stunning to say the least!  There was a live concert before too but we decided to stay near the lake during the show because of the amazing view and affects.  It was really well done.  God Bless my wonderful country, Canada, and here's to another great 150 years and more!

Enough said, right?!

Free Admission To All Canadian National Parks This Year! Canada's 150 Birthday!! 2017

So we went to Point Pelee recently and the very friendly and wonderful Government Employee informed us that we would not have to pay entry for 2017 and it is free because of Canada's 150th Birthday.  Then she gave us the Discovery Pass, pictured above, and it's plastic so we can use it over and over again for the year.  

We headed straight for the beach and check out the amazing view above at Black Willow Beach!  Total Heaven On Earth to me.  Ontario, Canada is among one of the top beautiful places in the world!  Hamilton is even the Waterfall Capital of the World, then there is Niagara Falls, the Scarborough Bloughs, Humber Beach, and so much more!  Then we have amazing man made structures and other amazing tourist sites like the CN Tower, Ripley's Aquarium, The Eaton's Centre and those 3 alone are all located downtown Toronto.  For more tourist information for Ontario click this sentence part and for Toronto hit this part.
