Hi, Everybody!

I presume that, like me, you are appreciating what a great time of year this is. The weather, the greenery, the outdoor activities, patios and skin (finally!) exposed to air! - I mean, what's not to like?? With all these things going on, I felt it was time to put together a list of events and todo's, along with a smattering of interesting, dare I say artsy, little tidbits. So, here goes... Enjoy!

Coming up on July 4th, the Juno Jupiter Mission will be orbiting Jupiter. Since this is a few weeks off, here's some information and a super exciting Hollywood-style trailer to satisfy all of your space travel ya-yas.

Celebrate the longest day of the year (also, my birthday!) with music and crafts and food at the Junction Summer Solstice Festival.

Or, join me for a day of outdoor yoga in the Distillery District. Om.

Also, this weekend is the Taste of Little Italy Festival.

If you're into concert hopping, then NXNE has more music than you can handle.

If you're into art, the ROM currently has a fascinating exhibit on tattoos and how they are relate to identity and obsession.

Grab a glass at the beginning of your week at the Gladstone Hotel for Open Cellar Mondays.

Shakespeare in High Park starts on June 30. This year they will be showing Hamlet and All's Well That Ends Well on alternating days.

If you missed the work of Vivian Maier at the Stephen Bulger Gallery when they showed it last, they will be showing more of her work starting June 25th and screening The Vivian Maier Mystery next door at Camera Bar at 3pm on that day.

Several photography exhibits are still showing from last month's Contact Photo Festival. You can see which ones here.

This article had an interesting take on the effects of social media on photography.

And, most importantly, Father's Day lands on this weekend. Here's a gift guide for those of you at a loss for what to get the most difficult to shop for member of the family. Happy Father's Day to my dad, my hubby and all the other wonderful fathers out there.

Have a fantastic weekend!
