Ontario Place, Today and Tomorrow

Did you know that Ontario Place will be undergoing a complete makeover in the coming years? And that the fates of the landmark Cinesphere and the spectacular over-water "pods" are not guaranteed? I'm all for some sprucing up of the site, but the loss of those two elements would be tragic.

Here are a few pictures I took there this week. As with many of my pictures, they were taken with my phone, so please excuse the lack of technical perfection.

Sharing a bit of my backlog of cool photos

My kids coloured with chalk on the brick wall of our house. Pretty!

White daisies are one of my favourites! Taken on Logan Avenue, north of Queen Street East.

Taken in front of Sweet Tooth Bakery, 508 Danforth Ave. I can't vouch for their cupcake claim because, sadly, I can't eat them.

Did I say tomorrow?

Um, I meant sometime in the next couple of weeks or so......

It's been a busy couple of weeks, but here's what I've been up to lately.

I made myself a funky new apron.





This is what happens when you don't have a proper french bread trough. It was pretty flat but I was told it was still delicious.

Gluten-free banana-chocolate-chip-walnut muffins with a glass of my mom's homemade Primo Rosso.

My son and I volunteered for Dusk Dances last week. This was taken near one of the performance sites.

Phew! Glad I got this post out of the way. I'm going to try and post regularly, and see how it goes. Have a pleasant day, everyone!
