A lot of the Canada Day activities were cancelled in Toronto but fortunately for us, there was one in our backyard! This was the first time we’ve actually walked around the city hall area and we’ve been living here for a year! There were activities all day, but we just showed up after dinner to watch Kreesha Turner. You may remember Kreesha Turner from hearing Don’t Call Me Baby on the radio, but what you may not know is that she’s part Chinese (and in away she’s a lot like Kristen Kreuk). We went to support the Chinese! (Ok, I just learned this now when I looked her up)

The concert wasn’t that great (her non-hits are pretty boring) but she was really promoting herself with new generation techniques. She name dropped her Twitter and filmed us on her Flip to be posted on to YouTube (we were right front and centre so hopefully we’ll be visible).

I bought a star filter a few weeks ago, and was trying it out. It kind of sucks in that you have to manually turn the filter so that the crosses are angled correctly. I thought it would be cool to take pictures of the fireworks so that they’re all stars, but in reality the filter doesn’t work like that. It needs some level of light in order to do the crosses, but if there’s too much light, it just gets messed up (see above).

For the fireworks, instead of fighting with the crowd, we headed up to the 38^th floor of our building. I thought it would be cooler with a different perspective, but it wasn’t as neat as I thought it would be.
