Once we were finished at the Farm, we decided that it would be a good time to return to the hotel room to rest a little and – perhaps more importantly – cool down a bit.

Outside of the punitive heat being held in by Cabbagetown’s legacy of cultivated greenery, we took away one lesson from our little visit to Riverdale Farm: pigs get the zoomies! Pigs! Zoomies!

A short roll of film can make a gal take a few risks! That sounds much more serious than I intend. Particularly when it’s cold, I prefer to use 24-frame rolls to the longer 36-frame rolls of film. Aside from it being inhospitable outside, it can shift from day-to-day. So yesterday when it cleared up…
