Coming Home Again

I enjoyed lunch with a few pf my Bruce Trail buddies where our conversation turned to a new project for the trail.  We're going to propose a lookout and try to come up with a design that will be accessible for wheelchairs.  At the end of that stimulating discussion I turned around and headed home.  So here are a few of the sights I recorded for posterity on the trip home..

Right down at the foot of Parker Street, in front of a house that looks out over the bay, was this nice patch of Scilla.

I finally had the opportunity to get a close-up photograph of these pretty little flowers.

A block later I passed this dense planting of Daffodils out in full bloom.

Unfortunately just around the corner was this badly mutilated enormous White Ash.  Can't believe someone would do this!

Then it was around the back of the long term care home, and down the wiggly sidewalk.

Every time I go past the sign for the home I'm reminded that this is a peopleCare facility.  My mother was in the peopleCare home in Tavistock for the last three years of her life, and I always had the impression that it was a very well run facility.

Several of the ground floor windows have bird feeders outside.  This one was a birdhouse-shape, plastered with seeds.

After that it was back up the Collingwood Street hill.  At the top, 3 blocks from home, I passed this glorious large Magnolia.  Not in bloom yet, but I know what's coming!  You can tell the buds are swollen by the appearance.  I'll keep you posted on this one!
