Visit daily to see Tricia's latest photos
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 looked up and this is what I saw. I love how the sunlight is breaking through the leaves at the top of the tree.
Does it make you feel small just imagining being under this tree? It was huge!
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 they are without leaves … why, I’m not sure.
These are Gayfeather (Liatris) buds. Each bulb develops a spike in June and by Mid to Late July each year the tiny flowers on each spike begin to bloom. They have a soft feather look from a distance and look lovely in large round clumps.
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.
