There was a maple syrup fes­ti­val in Perth. A bit of serendip­ity too, because I had just run out of my last cache of real maple syrup, stored in a bot­tle of Crown Royal my mom gave me.

Perth is a great for a get­ting to visit a small town with­out hav­ing to drive too far. We missed the pan­cake break­fast in the morn­ing, but made up for it by hav­ing maple sausages.

I bought me a bot­tle of amber maple syrup. Apparently, it’s thicker and richer than the reg­u­lar maple syrup.

A very fash­ion­able Mexicali Rosa’s, built on a river.

One of the rea­sons I went was to show Aaron and Trolley a few pho­tog­ra­phy tricks. We’re all shoot­ing Canon now, and it’s cool to have another thing in com­mon with my friends, espe­cially some­thing I enjoy so much.

There was a whole antique car lineup down one street. This is one badass radi­a­tor orna­ment on a firetruck red 1920s jalopy.

Not for him­self, but Steph. In pink, of course.
