Ripley's Aquarium of Canada

Ripley’s Aquarium of Canada, Toronto. April 2017

The Loose Moose located at 146 Front St W in Toronto

Wanderlust!  It’s important to travel every so often to see the world and capture beautiful memories while on the journey.  This photo was taken on the most recent trip I made to Asia which was last autumn in 2016.  It just so happens that tomorrow I will be exiting the borders again to go visit our southern neighbours!  Perhaps I will take a similar photo when I am there. 🙂 Continue reading →
