had a lovely day with my buddies…

we spent time at WAG/Qaumajuq checking out the various galleries;-)… so much to see…

this piece of art was the only one I took a photo of, and apparently a bit crooked, lol…

from there we walked over to the White Star Diner for lunch… fun time and tasty food…

we do love celebrating birthdays😊…

another lovely walk along the Harte Trail on Remembrance Day afternoon…

it felt like -4° Celsius and there was a bit of wind although the sun was shining brightly…

we walked a little bit past the distance we did last time…

we spotted two deer and watched them for a few minutes before they bounced along the ditch beside the path…

we were dressed for the cold and were very comfortable… then this person passed us;-)…

I guess different strokes for different folks…

it was a beautiful sunny day as we went for another walk along a different section of the Harte Trail the other day…

the sunshine was glorious and the path was dry…

this portion had a canopy so it felt as though we were walking in a bit of a tunnel… can’t wait to walk this one in the summer when the leaves are overhead…

beautiful trees and a lovely sky… an excellent way to get our exercise in when we can’t make it to the pool…

also tested out my new boots;-)…

went for a walk on the Harte Trail section of the Trans Canada Trail with my adventure buddy…

it was quite lovely, other than the puddles from the recent rain, lol…

we may have seen some cedar waxwings, although they were a long way off and high in a tree…

I am looking forward to going back in different seasons to see the changes…

we had a fun time;-)…

went to The Park Cafe and met up with two friends…

we had a lovely breakfast and then a couple of us took a quick walk through the English and Leo Mol Gardens…

it was cool out so we didn’t dawdle… still a few beautiful colours out there…

then I walked across the bridge to where I’d parked the car…

I have been so tempted to take the scissors to my hair for the last few days as I tried to find time for a haircut…

today I managed to fit the time in…

felt so much lighter after the cut…

the hairdresser took quite a bit off, so I shouldn’t have that urge for ages, lol…

on my way home I spotted this happy camper, even if they were stuck in the grass;-)…

had breakfast with my adventure buddy at the Park Cafe on Friday… I hadn’t been for awhile, but it was lovely to be recognized by the waitstaff…

enjoyed the classic eggs Benedict with tomatoes instead of hash browns…

then we had a short walk through the English Gardens and a quick look at the water lily pond in the Leo Mol Garden…

the flowers were stunning and we were drawn to all the beautiful dahlias and and roses…

as always the water lilies were blooming in the heated pond…

the frogs do enjoy the warm water, lol…

lovely time;-)…

this warm sunny morning, as I was walking up to the Leaf, I took a quick walk through the new water terrace which is located just outside the front area, between the Leaf and the Gardens at the Leaf…

I am looking forward to a longer visit next time I am there…

there are no fish, but the frogs have already made it their home;-)…

and look at the size of these pumpkins in the Kitchen Garden;-)…

finally walked over to the Park this morning…

started with breakfast at the Park Cafe… I really enjoyed the falafels…

from there it was over to the English Garden which is just gorgeous right now…

I found a lovely rose, just after we saw a hummingbird, although it moved too fast for me to get a photo…

in the Leo Mol Arbor we spotted one of the muskrats;-)…

had some fun with water lilies and frogs at the lily pond…

the gardens were being prepped for the big donor event this week… pressure washers were cleaning up the concrete, while lights were being added to the trees throughout the space… it will look lovely in the evening;-)…
