spent a lot of time with the water lilies in the Gardens… went from one to another, viewing and taking pictures… many of them had tiny frogs sitting on the lily pads…

water has always been important to me and it always draws me in…

wasn’t sure that the two lilies in my pond were going to have flowers, but I remained hopeful…

and this morning I spotted a bud;-)… woo hoo… excited to see the flower…

stroll…

walked to the Park this morning… before it got too hot…

had a wonderful stroll through the English and Leo Mol Gardens…

they are stunning right now… everywhere I looked there were beautiful flowers…

haven’t been over for a few weeks and was amazed at the growth in that time…

the heat is back on in the lily pond and the lilies are looking much better than the last few years… unfortunately I was there too early to see them completely open for the day…

nice to get some exercise and enjoy the gardens…

critters…

this morning after a hot tub I walked over to the Park, and then around the Gardens…

found a few critters in my travels…

first was a frog in the lily pond… only one I spotted today… there were many open lilies but no other frogs…

took quite a few photos of this cool flower and found this wasp…

the hydrangeas are blooming everywhere and when I took this shot caught a fly in amongst the flowers…

no spiders today;-)…

coexist…

out and about today…

to the grocery store for veggies and a few other things…

the kids came over for lunch and we made individually designed sandwiches along with chocolate milk, pickles and grapes…

they downloaded Pokemon Go on my phone so my middle grandson had his own device to play on…

we went to the Park and wandered through the English Garden and the Leo Mol Garden where there was a jazz concert…

music aficionados filled the space… there was every kind of portable chair you could think of…

and many Pokemon Go players…

four of whom were from my family…

was impressed how well the two groups coexisted in the space… lots of respect, clapping, and quiet play…

got some great photos at the lily pond…

and a few from the English Garden, where the eagle eyes of the oldest spotted two hummingbirds… what a treat… was able to watch them flit about and land on a branch for a moment before darting off…

this was my favourite shot from the English Garden area…
