Berry Good

These were delicious ... really delicious. In fact, they almost didn't make it to the photo shoot because I couldn't stop eating them.

Raspberries are my favourite berry. When they're in season, I buy them at our local farmer's market in the morning and they're finished by the end of the day.

I think they're best when eaten the same day. The flavour just isn't the same once they're refrigerated. I'm hoping there will be more at the market this weekend but with the extreme heat we've had this week, the season might be over much too soon.

And speaking of heat, how are you managing to stay cool? This week has been hot, hot hot and almost has me almost wishing for cooler Autumn days ... almost.  :)

A day at the lake

We recently spent an afternoon cooling off by the shore of Lake Ontario, watching the sailboats and seagulls.

The seagulls flew close overhead, completely oblivious to me as I snapped away. 

The distant Toronto skyline is barely visible through the haze and humidity.

I think a private beach would be wonderful! Imagine being able to step down to the shore whenever you want.

The water sparkled and shimmered in the bright afternoon sunlight. 

I'll be adding these to my Etsy shop over the next few days.
