Love your city.

I love my city! It's such a great place, everyone who doesn't live here likes to make fun of it and call it scary and dangerous but really, at least we don't have men driving their lawn tractor's along Younge St! When I saw this city view downtown I liked how honest it was, growing from the smaller stone building into the shinny glass buildings. It's not breath-taking but it make you look. Then to top it off while I was out for a run (yes I do that now) i saw this storage unit graffitied from top to bottom, I just couldn't get over how interesting this city is, just touches that people use to make it their own. It's just a constant reminder that this city is our home.

A few of my favourite things.

There is just something about Thanksgiving that makes everyone so happy and optimistic! I just can't help but smile when I see all the beautiful colours and smell all the tantalizingly delicious smells of the holiday. I spent mine at my cottage and as always had the time of my life! Because the fall just makes me so happy I thought I would make a list of things that make me happy just because having something like that always makes me feel really good.

1. Crisp fall days
2. Chocolate milk
3. My cat
4. Audrey Hepburn in Funny Face
5. Taking pretty pictures
6. a good cup of tea
7. My friends
8. Wool sweaters
9. Chivarly
10.Anything written by Cabriel Garcia Marquez

Here are some pictures I took from this weekend, I was more focused on enjoying the weather and my company but here they are!

A running flame through the mountains, a torch flung to the trees

The colour of autum is just starting to show itself in bright firey flashes of red and gold. Today though the changes of autum have yet to properly set in, I captured a few trees ahead of the rest, glowing with a confounding beauty that takes my breath away.

A picture is a poem without words.

Here are a few pictures I took of a maze we went to while we were in Dover, England. Not much to say, I just got a tad over excited walking through the maze. My friend Amira looked great in the shots. Here are a few, Enjoy!

No amount of darkness can hide a spark.

Dreary weather and crisp winds can only get you down for so long, then the beauty of fall overtakes you. I took a trip out of the city again today (there is just something about me and small towns)! This time it was to the ever so quaint village of Warkworth! I just walked up and down the downtown street taking pictures of what looked like it was straight out of a story book! There was a man selling his art there, and I really liked what he had done it reminded me fondly of the beauty of fall. I tried my best to capture the beauty of my autum adventure!

Rainbow's apologize for angry skies.

Well this was a surprise. Just as I was coming to grips with the fact that summer vacation was over, the cold sneaks up behind me and pounces with all it's mighty winds and dreary days. One minute I'm bouncing around in shorts and a t-shirt the next I'm wearing a wool hat and bundled up in my duvet watching the rain pound against my window. Fret not though with all this time inside I have re-discovered the beauty of the blanket! The other day we took a trip up north out of the big city (terrifying I know) I, thinking we would have beautiful summer weather, dressed in a bikini and cover-up packing a hoodie "just in case" (Famous last words if you ask me). The whole time we were there I was wrapped in a blanket, and getting strange looks from the towns folk! The area we were in was so picturesque that I braved the cold to get some pictures of the lake. Oh Mother Nature how you show your love stumps me sometimes!

Sunny days long past

So summer is coming to a close, and in mourning of the occasion I managed to harass my friend Emily into lending me some pictures she took of a BBQ I held at my house. Everyone seemed to have a nice time. I'm sorry to say that summer is nearly over it's been such a nice one so many memories were made, relationships were made and broken, but in the end we are all still young.
