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.
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.
It's always nice to get out to visit friends. The wheelchair accessible lookout sounds like a wonderful plan!
ReplyDeleteOkay, I'm shaking my head at the ash tree, one wonders why they didn't take it all down. And then I look out our dining room window which overlooks the neighbour's yard and I see an old elm that was cut back even more atrociously and realize not everyone thinks they way I do.
Oh, the scila! I found one growing in the front flower bed while I was weeding two years ago, and that hardy little thing came back last year as well. I do hope it multiplies!
What a fun little bird house. I bet the birds love that.
ReplyDeleteMy mother in law was in a care home. It was a nice one that cost my sister in law $3000 a month. The prices here of the care homes are outrageous.
The flowers are so pretty.
I hate when people chop trees like that. Hopefully it leaves out again soon and comes back looking nice.
I hope you keep us posted on the trail project. It sounds like a worthwhile undertaking.
ReplyDeleteThat magnolia will be magnificent when it blooms.
