met a friend for a walk around the English and Leo Mol Gardens this morning…

the Park is about a twenty minute walk from my house, but I had an appointment after so took the car… probably took me twenty-five minutes to drive there… 

there was set-up going on for Sunday’s Teddy Bears’ Picnic, and the usual entryways were all blocked off… 

eventually I made it to where I wanted to be, found a place to park and walked a bit to get to the entrance of the Gardens…

the alliums were a bright welcome to the garden and there were gardeners everywhere…

these tulips were still beautiful… many are dropping their petals… it was great fun to spot the changes since last week when I was there…

these white lilacs were nearly done although they look a bit purple in this picture…

these hostas fill a good sized section of the garden…

before we headed off in our separate directions, took this picture by the Children’s Garden…

as I walked back to Shadow I came across one of the Canada Goose families taking a swim…

sure do love my Fridays…
