The River Tay in Perth, Scotland.
The Tay is the longest river in Scotland and the sixth longest in the United Kingdom. It starts in the Scottish Highlands, and moves east until it goes through Perth. Its mouth is wide, and is called the Firth of Tay on the east coast. Dundee is on the north bank of the Firth. https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/River_Tay

The Princes Street Park has wonderful pathways and the steep staircase leads you to the end or the beginning of the Royal Mile in Edinburgh, Scotland.

Many cemeteries in the UK are places to walk, sit and enjoy the view. This one in Edinburgh was located behind the St. John’s Scottish Episcopal Church. Nestled among the tombstones are places to sit and enjoy a great cup of coffee from the cafe inside the church.

Ever since I started teaching the unit on Bridges from the grade 5 curriculum I’ve been somewhat obsessed with them. I love bridges but I wish I had more photos. The following bridges are from Venice, Florence, Loire Valley in France, London over the Thames, from Ontario, P.E.I., New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.

A pretty corner to rest at the greenhouse and the perfect solution as to whether stand or sit.
..created by Canadian artist Derek Michael Besant
The mural, “trompe l’oeil”, is on the back of the Gooderham Building or more commonly known as the Flatiron Building. It appears to be a canvas screwed onto the façade with the edges of the canvas fluttering in the wind.
The Gooderham Building, is located on the wedge shaped corner of Wellington East, Front, and Scott Streets and was built in 1891. It was owned by George Gooderham who owned numerous properties throughout the city, including the Gooderham Distillery. He was one of the richest men in Canada and yet was relatively unknown.
….in a downtown Toronto park
Last week I attended a luncheon for the Women’s Musical Club of Toronto at a popular restaurant close to Union Station. I took the Go Train ( a short trip from the station close to my house) and I walked to the restaurant which was only a couple of blocks away. As I approached the Flatiron Building I noticed that the park behind it has been decorated for Christmas. Berczy Park was redesigned by Claude Cormier ( no relation) in 2015 and features a fountain with 27 dogs looking up to the top where a bone is perched. There is also one cat facing north looking at a couple of birds. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berczy_Park
