So now that I am feeling better I have TONS of photos I just HAVE to show you in this post. I only picked my very favourites but there are plenty of them so grab your cup of coffee and join me...
...This is one of my favourite days from this summer. At the end of July, Jon and I zoomed back from a quick visit to Toronto in time to attend the 2nd annual Picnic & Garden Concert hosted by the fabulous Piebird, & its proprietors Yan & Sherry, a fab young couple that I really respect...
It was a day where you could bring your own lunch & a picnic blanket & sought out a perfect spot to get comfy under the blazing sun & delicious blue skies for an afternoon of awesome music, happiness, and people with great mojo...
It was a lovely family event, full of beautiful kids running amuk...this is my gorgues pal Jana with her little human lovely...
...Adam Puddington was one of the musicians up first...
Than the completely fantastic Prescott's, a family group...
The bands stars however are Kaylen & Kelly Prescott who are brother & sister (pictured here is Kaylen Prescott on guitar) ...
...and Kelly (shown here) is actually married to Adam Puddington. Click here to see the video for what I think was my favourite song they preformed this day...
...I love taking candid shots...like this one of the Piebird Peeps, Yan & Sherry, I think they are some of my favourite people to snap shots of...
...and I adore this shot, to me it perfectly captures the sparkling innocence & simplicity which was part of this day...
...as The Prescott's played, Curtis from "The Brothers Chaffey" sat and listened...another cool candid shot...
There was lots of hoolahooping going on...
...Lots of smiling in the sunlight...
During a short break, we strolled about the Piebird property. The Piebird is just a happy place where you feel very at home & comfortable, I just love it so much & the earth friendly/animal kind lifestyle that Yan and Sherry have going on (who are both vegetarians, yayyy:D)...
...Here are some more of my most favourite shots...
And than the music started up again with an excellent rock & blues band called the Brothers Chaffey & man did they ever rock...
They had people up and dancing...
...and of course, I just had to get an cd and meet the lead singer...
It was just such a relaxing and easy going day...
Where you could play with friends...
...Play some soccer in between sets...
...Sit on a old Ford tractor...
Listen to some great music & converse with goats....
A day I am not soon to forget...
Thanks for hopping in, I know it was a long one, but hope hope hope you enjoyed seeing the photos???

What fun! I really enjoyed your photographs, but that first goat picture had me laughing and accidently sending sesame seeds from my bagel flying. He so looks like he (she?) is plotting something.
there should be a reaction check box for cozy or heartwarming:) Your photos definitely evoke the warm and fuzzies!
Oh Mandy! These photos and your comments brought tears of glee to my eyes. Thank you for capturing Piebird and mine and Yan's life in such glorious shots.
People like you make all we do here so worth it and more than fun. See you soon. Love, Sherry
