I’m one of ten official bloggers for the CNE this year. This is my fourth blog posting about the CNE, all about a visit to the farm building.

Lots of cute baby piglets in the farm building!

I’m hoping to capture some photos of the Air Show, but not sure if the weather will co-operate, if it does, will post about it, if not, will have one more catch-up blog posting of un-posted images from my visits to the CNE this year.

CNE 2013 Games: Toronto Photography

I’m one of ten official CNE bloggers, this is my third blog post about the CNE this year. This one is about the full games you can play.

I’m sure you’ll be able to figure out that I simply loved photographing the Ring Around the Bottle game! The repetition, the fading off into bokeh, processed in a nostalgistic way, definitely a fave!

Spa Day: Toronto Photography

My sister won a contest, sponsored by Maple Leaf, so we, and two friends, were treated to a lovely ‘spa day’. A chef arrived to cook us a delicious lunch, before we each had individual massages, manicures and pedicures. What a lovely indulgence it was!

The salad the chef prepared:

Perfect looking strawberries for the salad:

Corn cobs:

Great technique for removing those pesky corn silks:

Corn cobs started in the pot the chef brought with him, chicken (the ‘Maple Leaf’ part), started in his frying pan on the gas stove:

Corn was then moved to a frying pan, fried in bacon fat if I recall correctly…if you didn’t like bacon, not sure you’d enjoy this lunch! lol. 😉

Frying:

Crispy bacon was added to pre-prepared potatoes, part of a potato side dish:

Then it was warmed in the pan…with more bacon fat…yum! It’s certainly not a way I usually eat!

The finished lunch plate. A wonderful start to our spa day experience.
