Royal Wood @ Niagara Wine Festival

Before leaving for Newfoundland, I was super excited because I got to squeeze in one more Royal Wood concert at the Niagara Wine Festival in St. Catherine's, Ontario.  The forecast that day initially called for rain, but it turned into a lovely afternoon of sunshine and music.  Royal played two 45 minute sets with his 4 piece band, consisting of Dean Drouillard, Steve Zsirai and Mark Mariash.  I'd say most of the songs were from The Burning Bright (and the I Wish You Well EP), with a few older songs thrown in for good measure.  Here's some of my favourite shots:

The Beauties @ Junction Music Festival

Last weekend, I had the chance to see local Toronto band, The Beauties at The Junction Music Festival. It was my first time attending the festival, and it was really cool. They only closed a small portion of the street, where the main stage was located, but there was stuff happening in all the shops, restaurants and alcoves along Dundas St. West.  It looked like it was going to be a rainy night and I almost considered skipping the show, but thankfully the rain let up just as I was arriving to the stage area.  This band is super awesome, and I highly recommend checking them out!

Mudmen at Taste of the Kingsway

A few weeks ago, I had the chance to see one of my favourite bands from my university days, The Mudmen, at the Taste of the Kingsway street festival in Toronto.  The festival shuts down part of Bloor Street for a full weekend and features great food and music.  It was an awesome day to spend some time taking in live tunes.

Twillingate, Newfoundland: Iceberg Boat Tour

A picture is definitely worth 1000+ words, and there are not enough words to describe how breathtakingly beautiful these massive icebergs are, in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, near Twillingate Newfoundland.  So I'll let the photos speak for themselves. I am so thankful to have had this opportunity to explore such wonder!

After the boat tour, we headed up to Long Point Lighthouse for a different view of the icebergs and ocean:

High Park Cherry Blossoms

One of my favourite times to be in the west end of Toronto is late spring.  That's because every year in May, the High Park cherry blossom trees spring to life.  The Sakura trees were given to Toronto on behalf of the Japanese, for Toronto's support during World War Two.  The short-lived flowering season brings many people to the park, myself included!  I was able to visit twice this year, when the buds were just popping up, and then later when the trees were in full bloom.  Here are some of my favourite shots:
