Come Together Music Festival

Well, it is official, the festival season has started. For me, it was at the Come Together Music Festival, just outside Durham, Ontario. Usually a summer closer for me, I chose to open my summer this year with this twice a year 'Gathering of the Tribes'. A small and tightly knit festival, CTMF remains a well kept secret that brings together cross country talent, with a peppering of talent from South of the fourty-ninth. With acoustic, free-form and straight out kick you in the chin rock, the weekend offers a magnet for music lovers 'in the know'. The bands become the fans and the fans become the bands in a wonderful rotation of unassuming appreciation and expression. Put on by Mark Wilson, CTMF is offered in all its colourful free expression again this Labour Day Weekend.

**due to inclement weather, I didn't have my camera out as much as usual, but here are a few samplings of this great weekend

Yay!! It's May!!

Ahhh...the warm weather has finally arrived..and not a minute too soon!
The annual exodus to the local garden stores has began, the lawn mowers have been tuned, the ball practices are in full swing and the street sweepers have wiped away winter and welcomed in spring in annual fashion. With the temperatures hitting the mid-twenties this week, shorts, sandals, summer holidays and roadtrips are just around the corner. Let the sun shine in:-)


To welcome in the Rite of Spring, summertimes' neighbour, here are some photos of the Mayday and Faeriefolk Festival, one of a number of well run family oriented events headed by a number of local visionaries determined to make St. Marys a truly one of a kind town (with special guest appearances by my wife-The Pied Piper-Donna and my son-Robin Hood-Jaron)
