While driving through N. Lake Shore Drive on our way home from Canada yesterday afternoon, I saw this group of soccer moms and dads watching their kids play soccer. One of them was photographing. I hurriedly took a shot of them … the cyclist came into the viewfinder just as I pressed the shutter … and completed the picture. Glad to be back (but am not looking forward to go back to work) … Here are more shots from the places I visited in Canada over the past two weeks:

My most favorite place that we visited during this trip, hands down, is Quebec City. I love the old world ambiance and yet you also have the feeling that this soon will rise and become one of the top world class cities in the world, like Barcelona after Franco and the Olympics. It seems like things fresh are sprouting up here … During our 2nd night in the city, some friends of friends took us on a walking tour around the old city … and wherever we went, these two (above), one of whom apparently was also touring the other, were there too. It was actually quite funny because by the end of the walk near the Chateau Frontenac, we sort of like, recognized and smiled at each other.
After this photograph was taken, I ran out of flash card space and worse, my batteries also ran out (I have been photographing the whole day in the countryside and didn’t have any chance to download the pictures that I took nor didn’t have time to charge the batteries. I did use my point and shoot after this but since I didn’t have my tripod with me, the results were atrocious).

We are now on our way back to Chicago … it has been a wonderful two weeks roaming the southeastern part of Canada — basically three cities in two weeks - Toronto, Montreal, Quebec City and back to Toronto (with a side trip to Ottawa). The picture above is your humble servant taking a picture of .. what we came here for in the first place: a visit with relatives in Toronto - in particular - the birthday celebration of my grand nephew. Taken with an i-phone.
