Vroom Vroom!!

Every time I am home, I try to take pictures of this car.. I love it!

Greenery around the city

In the waterfront park, there are all kinds of awesome flowers and pretties!!

There is a pond with fish! and water lilies!

and... these things!! Which apparently look very yummy to yellowjackets

Okay, this isnt from the waterfront.. its from my moms neighbours yard.. a Giant Hibiscus!!

Along the waterfront..

Of course I found birds!!
Walking along the waterfront (going to see the Tall Ships), we saw a couple beautiful Cormorants..

Quack!!

The shoreline of course

and Pigeons!!

This is from the monument about soldiers planes shot down.. My mom showed me her uncles name on it. Very cool to learn about more family history!

KITTEN!!!

The Kitten is getting big enough that it can come outside now.. Which means, lots and lots of kitten pictures!!

We took it out, and put it down and tried to get pictures... Didnt work out quite as planned...

Mama Turd didnt appreciate our photo opportunity

Kitten went to hide under mama

Didnt appreciate it at all!

Aborard the Tall Ships

While we were in Ontario, we managed to stop by the waterfront to see the war of 1812 Tall ships..
In this group were the Pangaea Exploration, The SS Sorlandet, S/V Denis Sullivan and The Pride of Baltimore II....

One of the Many many photographers brought his own props in the form of pirate duckies... of course, I had to grab a snapshot!

Looking up!

One of the crewmen was fixing the sail..

Renaissance Festival - THE COSTUMES!!!

Everybody dresses up at renaissance festivals!! (Even I was sporting jangles and bracelets by the end of the day)

This guy I spotted while at the Joust.. too cool!!

This very scary Dragon didnt seem to appreciate his headpiece and kept ripping it off.. (His friend the princess had similar problems)

FEATHERS!! I love the scarves too!!

And yes, I found the doctor in the renaissance festival... only thing that was missing was his mop!

Chain mail for this lovely costume..

This gorgeous lady stopped to pose for me..

And I found a Purple Link!!

(Note - I do not know who any of these people are, just that they stopped to pose when I asked.. If you know who they are, please let me know!!)

Renaissance Fest - Around the Shops!

All the shopkeepers are dressed up.. they are amazing!!
This lady was selling some gorgeous shawls and scarves..

Can you guess that this one was selling knives?

This Crier was advertising a meatball shop.. (Telling us to come and get the nice hot balls.. complete with hand gestures.. LOL)

And one of the Queens men doing a march to one of the musical groups!

(I couldnt help this one - an amazing wooden dragon in front of one of the shops)
