Toronto Photo Walks: Christmas Market

500!

Yes that's right, this is my five hundredth post. I missed the two year milestone a few months back. Forgot about it and by the time I realized it, it was too late. So over two years later, I have managed to post over 500 blog posts of my explorations and travels. Before we go any further I will post a couple self portraits I have taken over the past few months. Selfy's as they are known. These were taken as part of the Google + "Selfy Sunday" group.

Tried to find more, and they are on my hard drive some where. Just ran out of time this morning. Anyway, on to the blog post. Last week we had two off day photo walks. One in the Distillery District for the Christmas Market. Lots of shops, lots of people, and lots of Christmas lights. We wandered for about an hour or so getting pictures of the lit up area. Getting into the Christmas mood. Very nicely decorated as well.

Christmas Day...Friends and Family

Christmas was good. Slept in, for me at least. Staying at my friends place I waited until everyone was up before getting ready with the camera. Gifts were exchanged and a few pictures were taken. Kids, always playing with the cardboard boxes....



Then again, jumping into a pile of styrofoam peanuts has to be fun I guess...


So, it was off and letting the faithful minion clean up her mess. Time to spend time with my mom and brother. Of course there was a cat to terrorize with a camera and flash.







Tables had to be set, and food prepared for the great Christmas Feast.


A bird had to be prepared as well.

Then the food was placed and we all dug in...well no pictures of that. After all I was busy feasting.


After all that it was time to rest, relax, and eventually sleep. A good day was had by all, even Aramathea who put up with my mad stalking skills.

A Goth Christmas: Leah

Merry Christmas Eve everyone. One more day to go. Is all your Christmas shopping done? All your plans been made? Are you ready? Well, I am mostly ready. Just a few things to do, bribes to pay, buses to catch. In the meantime lets take a look at Leah...

A Goth Christmas: Jessica

Moving right along. As you can see by the title, today's model is Jessica. Enjoy the pictures, and remember, only two days to Christmas...










And this following picture is my personal favorite of her.
