Tonight we hurried our dinner to catch our city’s annual Santa Clause Parade. We have the good fortune of having the parade right by our street, so it was only a 5 minutes walk from our house to a good spectating area on Leslie Street.

Seeing the cadets marching by and then escorting Santa at the end of the parade brought back some old memories when I was an Air Cadet back in the 80’s.

Aside from the brisk 3℃ windy evening, the parade definitely brought a dose of warm holiday spirit to our neighbourhood. Thank you Richmond Hill for organizing such a fun event. I hope you hold it again next year using the same route. I definitely did not envy those who had to drive and park at the event.

Yesterday’s weather was so clear and sunny. We decided to spend Thanksgiving day to hunt for fall leaves. Our first stop was at the Kortright Centre. The centre had many trails and the guide suggested the best trail to view the most colours. Luckily it was a short trail, less than 3 kilometres. My eldest son, Jason, is just recovering from a flu, and we can tell from his body language that he was simply too tired to do anything too exhausting.

We all took some beautiful photos with our iPhones. I got a chance to really test out my new iPhone 7 camera, and the pictures turned out really good. Both in the  shadows and against the sun.

It looks like we were too early. We decided to head more North to the York Regional Forest Trails, and to our dismay, it looks like we need to give the trees another week to really show their fall colours. Here is a picture of Jason standing alone on the trail.
