November 2021: The ‘Fresh Of The Boat’ feeling as we board Air India direct flight to Toronto after a two year Covid intermission. We have been visiting Canada since 2012 but this trip was special, coming as it did after deliberating the risks, even with being double vaccinated and fulfilling ArriveCan regulations. Checked and ticked: Vaccination certificates paper copies and downloads; ArriveCan download; Passports; Sanitisers and Masks. Thankful it was Business class and limited interaction. Canada here we come.
Toronto: The first images…… Sunrise, Fall colours to first snowfall/flurries and Christmas decorations. Wishing my blogger friends and readers a very Happy Thanksgiving. There is much to be grateful for….. from a happy healthy life to getting back into the groove. The blissful feeling of being at peace with the surroundings (lens-artists-photo-challenge-174-follow-your-bliss)

TRAVTRAILS.... 
Congratulations on doing a safe transcontinent trip. Must be such a pain to travel now, but therefore more of a joy to arrive
Thank you. We took the chance as children are here plus the urge to move.
Beautiful!
Thank you
Such a lovely collage of first impressions on returning to Toronto. I love the fall colors and those baskets of tomatoes! “The blissful feeling of being at peace with the surroundings” comes through your images. Sure hope this new Covid variant doesn’t mess up everyone’s plans.
Thank you
How lovely that you can travel overseas again. Beautiful photos
I hope you are enjoying your trip
It’s snowing. Just now in Toronto and Jan in Calgary. Planning a Vancouver trip some time in April/May.
We loved Vancouver and maybe will get to visit again one day
Making the most of the trip. Thanks
