While Webster’s Falls were definitely the most spectacular of the day, we did do a bit of sleuthing around some of the other falls close by, starting with Boher’s Falls, and working out way out to the ruins of the old paper mill. Tito and…
The weather in Toronto has been a deep freeze this week, with temperatures dropping as low as -27oc (-16.6 oF) with the windchill. Of course, there’s got to be a plus side to such chilly conditions, right? Accordingly, Tito and I drove off to the Hamilton…
Heading into another cold one tonight… -42 with the wind chill. But it’s so, so pretty…
We’ve had freezing rain in Toronto all weekend. To Tito and I, that means it’s time to get out the cameras and head to Leslie Street. I apologize for the image-heavy post… but I hope you’ll agree that it was worth it :)

This past weekend Tito and I drove up to the Bruce for a quick city getaway. We stayed at the Round House – an absolutely beautiful B&B in Tobermory. The lady was really sweet, the living room was huge and had beautiful picture windows that…
