Tall Ships

It has been a long time since I thought about the 'Tall Ships' exhibit. Decades actually went by but recently it was announced that the Tall Ships was making a triumphant return to the T-Dot to mark the War of 1812 and also to celebrate the Toronto Waterfront Festival. It was a gorgeous day on Thursday when I stopped by to take a gander at the magnificence of these ships. All kinds were on display and while it cost $15 to actually board the vessels, I decided to bask in the glory of such wonderful craftsmanship on dry land.

Summer Time

 

It is beginning to feel a lot like summer ... I was sorting through a stack of photos the other day and came across these ... way back when, Yorkville had an Ice Fest extravaganza like no other.

 It was cold that day but looking back at the pics and the fun I had that day, just warms my heart.

 

After an hour of hard work, here is the finished product. That's the ice carver himself, posing beside his masterpiece.

 

Another Beauty!
