Today's venue: House of Miracles in Cambridge I've been so bad at these lately! We've played so many shows that I never took pictures of lol
A sign says "At the HOM | Onion Honey | Talise" seems to be floating with a bright light above it. Probably a ufo of some sort

I haven't done one of these in a while! Today's venue the The Local in Toronto. We love this place, it's basically the only place we play in the city and we're fine with that.

Excellent show tonight. The room was full, the crowd had great time and sang along when they could, and some old friends of ours showed up! Truly magical. We had no idea anybody was going to come out. What an awesome journey we've had on this little tour. Would do again!
The early birds are in their seats and waiting for the show to start.

Travel day today after the festival (the festival was amazing), then one more (sold out!) show tomorrow night. Then home to our own beds and our pups! We stopped at Old Woman Bay and looked for amethysts on the way.

Really great show at Rock Island Lodge in Wawa tonight. A house show vibe but in a cabin right on Lake Superior. We took a break to all watch the sunset together. Friggin magical. Those moments make it all worth it.

Never one to be restricted, she forges her own path. A pioneer. An artist. Free.
My dog Charlie with her back half on her dog bed, and front half on the couch. She looks at the camera as though we are judging her, but we are not. We are basking in her majesty, simply documenting her grace and poise for posterity as one would take a picture of the queen waving to her subjects.

We played a festival far enough away that we had absolutely no cell phone coverage. And that in itself is a gift. Woke up way too early on Sunday morning and got this gorgeous pic of the misty Temagami River.
The small moon shines in the dark blue sky with a light cover of clouds, the river runs from left to right across the bottom of the picture with thick mist rising from it. Forest fills the background behind the river.

Unexpectedly gorgeous meadow in midtown today, always brings a smile to me and Mr. Toby

Haven't done one of these in a while - today's venue is the Wellington County Museum and Archives for the Berries and Bears event. Quite a nice property!

It's been kinda gloomy the last couple of days, but we're still out walking each morning. I love a mottled sky, and also framing a pic in such a way that you might forget you're at an intersection in the middle of a city.

Good morning! Had a great weekend playing a festival on Manitoulin Island, now it's back to work.

Good morning! We visited the bee box today. Still there, but the grass is growing in, it looks a little more like nature, which is nice!
