Saturday Fun In The Park

Spent some time a few weeks ago with this handsome little fellow at his neighbourhood park.  Kayden was a joy to photograph.  He was full of fun and smiles. 

Thank You Greekfest

Well, all good things must come to an end and so to must Greekfest.  I had a great opportunity to photograph Greekfest for 3 different sessions and I had an amazing time.  The food was terrific.  The music was awesome.  The people...what can I say about the people...I was so warmly welcomed by all the volunteers, especially my friends in the back cooking tent who took me under their wings, introduced me around and made me my own special plate of Greek food.

The volunteers at this event are second to none and thank you for making me feel so welcome.  I hope you'll have me back next year.  OPA!!!

Family Day included the Shriner's Clowns.  Waffles here is working hard for all the kids.

Smile and the world smiles with you.

Those that know me, know how I love pictures of shoes and toes.  Waffles had the most awesome shoes.

The Ottawa Police were on site to show the kids their awesome bikes and talk about their jobs.

Harley Davidson...doesn't get any better.

We got a little rain on Saturday, so I headed in doors to take pictures of the beautiful church.

Beautiful ceiling.

Fireworks!!

Spent a wonderful summer evening watching the most amazing sound and light show at Casino Du Lac-Leamy http://www.feux.qc.ca/en/  These four countries showed off their fireworks during the competition and this was the finale which showcased firework displays from Canada, Germany, Italy and China.  The winner was GERMANY.  They won the Zeus award which was for best sound and light display and they won the fan choice award. 

Greekfest Continues

The party continues at Greekfest and I was there to enjoy Multicultural Night.  It was a wonderful night of music and dancing which included local dance troupes representating their countries in dance.

Cooking up a storm at Father Alex's Saganaki Shack.  Saganaki is a pan seared cheese appetizer and when it is ready, they light it up and this is the result.
