I have a nice size Rose of Sharon tree in my backyard and from the last week of July through the end of August my tree was covered in these beautiful flowers. Lovely! The Rose of Sharon tree / shrub is part of the Hibiscus family, although it’s much more hardy than a tropical Hibiscus! [...]
I think I’m avoiding winter. Notice that I haven’t posted one winter related photo … all the recent photos have been autumn related? It’s not like you can ignore a season like winter – not with all the snow we’ve had, but I’m doing my best, at least on this blog! Again, this is a [...]
I can’t believe I haven’t taken any winter pictures yet! It’s just been too cold here in Toronto most of this month to get outside and take some pictures of falling snow, snow covered trees or plants, icicles or any of the things that make winter pretty. So instead I’m posting photos that I took [...]
When I saw this tree in the forest while taking our dog for a walk I thought it was interesting. I love how it’s branches twist around the trunk. The branches doen’t all go in the same direction so it can’t be caused by wind or other forces of natures. It’s just odd, but kind [...]
I took this picture in November. The area looks quite different now as we’ve had a lot of snow since then (mostly this week!). However, the picture looks so peaceful, and the autumn colors are so lovely, that I decided that it was time to post it. The holidays are a hectic time for most [...]
I should have a picture of a snow covered pine branch up today since we’ve had so much snow here in Toronto in the last few days! Still … I think the sight of pine probably makes most people think of winter and the holiday season so it’s fitting. I hope that you are having [...]
All summer and fall I kept seeing these odd leaning trees in the park where we take our dog for a run in the woods. I finally broke down and took a picture of them. I know it’s not a spectacular picture, but isn’t it strange how the two trees are leaning towards each other? [...]
Sumac leaves turn red in Autumn and they develop fruit or seedpods that look like the one above. I think they’re kind of pretty. Especially when there is a large group of Sumac with their red leaves and fruit seedpods on display.

Earlier this month my husband and I took our dog for a hike in a local park here in Toronto. There are wooded trails, clear open fields and of course the obligatory pond or two. All of the kinds of things that a dog or nature lover would enjoy! The trees here in Toronto took [...]
A delicate Cedar branch in autumn. Just looking at this photo I can almost smell the scent of cedar.

A close up of a pine tree branch. I love the smell of real pine and crushed pine needles. Did you know you can make a tea out of pine needles? It has an interesting taste!

A couple of weeks ago my husband and went for a hike in a park here in Toronto. While we were there I decided to take some photographs of the trees. If you’ve seen the last picture and description you already know I like trees and interesting bark. Well .. as I took photos I [...]
It’s true that moss always grows on the North side of a tree. I saw this sun dapple tree with it’s interesting bark and moss growing in the cracks while on a nature hike in the city (Toronto) on Saturday. I couldn’t resist taking a few photos of it. I love trees – particularly when [...]
This is a snow covered Mugo Pine branch. I took this photo on the same day that I took the previous photo that I posted – right after a big snow storm here in Toronto. All of the trees were dusted with snow and it was beautiful. I know those of you that don’t experience [...]
This is a shot of the park that adjoins Toronto’s famous Beach area. My husband and I often visit this park and the beach year round. Of course Toronto is in a cool climate so we are at times met with snow and ice, but it’s still lovely no matter what time of year we [...]
