Toronto Get Away

Jim and I took a few extra days off including Memorial Day on Monday and escaped to Toronto just before the requirement of pass ports were necessary. The weather was beautiful and it was so enjoyable to be outdoors in the fresh Spring air touring the city and dining at the outdoor patios. I was excited to take some great shots but they seem to be more on the ok level. None the less it was wonderful that the two of us could get away together and enjoy the hustle and bustle that goes on in a big city.

Tonight I thought I would share some pics took at the St. Lawrence Market. Similiar to a large farmers market there was plenty of fresh sites from fish to flowers and of course some very interesting people. We headed here early in the morning so it was the perfect spot to try a fresh baked pastry. Jim picked them out and they were marvelous.








Thank you for looking ~Jackie
