Floral Wacky Birds on Thursday

Posted on December 16, 2021 by Mama Cormier

…completely missed all Wednesday posts (such a busy time of year)

Normally I post Kevin’s wacky birds here but I’m saving them for Thursday Trios. You’ll see why in my next post.

Textures on Trees

Posted on December 14, 2021 by Mama Cormier

…for Tuesday Textures I’m focusing on the wonderful textures found on exotic trees

My trip last week to the Centennial Park Greenhouse was very fruitful. Not only did I see some great plants but I also got some wonderful shots and close-ups of some very exotic foliage. I’ve always love photographing bark and last week’s trip did not disappoint.

The Greenhouse at Centennial Park is Open Again

Posted on December 14, 2021 by Mama Cormier

…with a few COVID precautions in place

It was wonderful to be able to walk through the greenhouse again and take in all the beautiful flowers. Right now Poinsettias are the feature flower in honour of the Christmas season. As you walk in you are greeted by a maiden of succulents and as you exit there is a second maiden all decked out in succulents.

The greenhouse on the north side is where the poinsettia display is housed. There are so many wonderful varieties and colours and in between there are whimsical birdhouses.
