Monday Murals – July 12, 2021

Yesterday I discovered this storage bin in the children’s playground in my neighbourhood. I loved how someone took a relatively unattractive metal box and brought some life and joy to it with paint.

Bark With an Attitude – Tree Square

….thanks to Becky B for hosting Tree Square for the month of July https://beckybofwinchester.com/2021/07/12/tree-square-12/

This is my contribution for July 12, 2021. I love the bark on trees. The textures are so interesting and sometimes there are cool patterns throughout the tree.

Tree Square – July 9, 2021

thanks to Becky B for hosting Tree Squares for the month of July, https://beckybofwinchester.com/2021/07/09/tree-square-9/

Many parts of Ontario are infested with Gypsy Moth caterpillars this year. High Park was over-run with them two weeks ago and last week the trees around our cottage were covered with them. Unfortunately they chew through the leaves and can completely defoliate a tree.

The photo on the bottom was taken at High Park earlier this week. Normally this time of year the canopy is so dense that you wouldn’t be able to see the pond from that vantage point.
