“The pursuit of truth and beauty is a sphere of activity in which we are permitted to remain children all our lives.”
― Albert Einstein

“Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year.”
― Ralph Waldo Emerson

As I take my daily walks with my camera in hand, I’m alway in the state of wonderment with the beauty that surrounds me every day. I’m saddened by the fact that so many people never see what is right in front of their eyes. Many evenings I have run out of the house with my camera in hand to catch a beautiful sunset or quietly stood by my back door to catch the birds and squirrels come to the feeder.

I’m a Fan of…..Centennial Park Conservatory

Now that spring has arrived the Centennial Park Conservatory staff have created a wonderful new display of the most glorious spring flowers. The first thing that hits you before you even enter the room is the perfume smell from those beautiful flowers. The feature room changes at least five times a year if not more often. It’s well worth the visit if you live in Toronto or close by.

Water, Water Everywhere – Real Pond vs Weather Created Pond

Posted on March 29, 2023 by Mama Cormier

….after a heavy downpour on Saturday the ground was so saturated that ponds appeared over the grass

The ducks loved it and enjoyed their new pond for at least a day. They aren’t that evident in my photos because they swam further away when I walked closer to the edge of the newly formed pond.

The Pond at Col. Sam Smith Park, after being almost completely drained of water a month ago has come back to its former self probably due to the heavy rainfall on the weekend. Sadly the day was still overcast but at least the rain had stopped.
