This is one of the old main buildings at Toronto’s Brick Works. The factory is no longer operational and the quarry where all the clay was dug out to make the bricks has been turned into ponds, marshes and hiking trails that highlight native plants of Ontario and this general area.
The Brick Works is a lovely place to visit in the heart of the city of Toronto. I highly recommend that you visit if you like old buildings, hiking and views of lovely scenic nature.
I took this photo last weekend when we went to The Brick Works here in Toronto. It’s a nature preserve filled with native plants and native fauna.
This pond is located right after you pass the old brickworks buildings. There’s no swimming allowed of course, but it’s good that they have a life preserver there (and in other areas) just in case someone falls in.
We brought our Lab puppy with us as it was a great way to give her a little exercise and of course all she wanted to do on that hot day was jump in the water which of course is not allowed at nature preserves! We took her to the beach the next day where she was able to get her fill of being in the water.
This is the Valencia Hybrid Tea rose. It’s a large rose, perhaps 4 inches in diameter and it’s lovely.
I don’t find that this rose has much scent, but what it lacks in fragrance it more than makes up for in beauty. I just wish this rose wasn’t so stingy with it’s blooms. I get new flowers every three or four weeks throughout the summer but only one to three at a time. I’d love to see this rose bush just full of these lovely flowers.
I love my Moulinex roses. Look at how many different shades of yellow are in the bloom. Doesn’t it look a bit like the colors of a sunrise?
