Thanks to Vicki for organising our anniversary party again, and to Phil for managing the special Flickr group we’ll use for the slideshow.

Please share your best shots from the past year of photo walks (i.e. since last year’s party) in our Flickr pool called “Toronto Photo Walks: Year Two In Pictures“. Please contact Phil if you have any problems with accessing the pool.

There’s no photo walk planned for that day but Jeff has suggested visiting the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair (info on Flickr thread).
