was a bit behind this morning but eventually headed over to the Park for my weekend visit…

spotted this flag on the sandbar in the river by the walking bridge to the Park…

there were likely thousands of people in the Park last night for the fireworks and during the day for all the Canada Day activities and they hadn’t yet got it cleaned up…  garbage bags were piled around the garbage cans but there was also lots of trash along the paths… I should have taken a bag and collected as I walked because I am a bit crazy about not littering, just ask my kids, lol…

happy to see water lily flowers in the Arbour Pond…

the main lily pond is not doing nearly as well… only spotted one bud where usually by now there would be dozens of blooms…

once I got home I spent a few minutes admiring the clematis… it has exploded…

finally spent some time in the garden reading and watching the fish in the pond…
