Shipwreck on Ice

My blog buddy, Photoshopphlake, posted a similar photo of this wreck at Jordan Harbour a few days ago. I liked the shot so much I had to take one of my own. Unfortunately, it was a very dull day so I had to use Photoshop to brighten things up a bit.

Chocolate & Wine

Last weekend was the start of the Chocolate & Wine passport event in Niagara-on-the-Lake. 25 wineries are presenting a chocolate and wine pairing. This is the presentation at Ravine Vineyard Winery in St. David's.
