Abutilon megapotamicum

This plant has many names. Flowering Maple, Indian Mallow, Chinese Lantern. The leaves resemble the leaves of the Maple Tree. Indian Mallow is because it is part of the Mallow family. Chinese Lantern because of the shape of the flowers that are long lasting. Here in the northern hemisphere it needs to be brought indoors before the first frost and can be put outdoors after the last frost. It is pretty to look at! It would add colour to any garden.

Tree Roots!

On the Rouge Urban National Trail, Vista Trail which is about 2.7km one way. There is a stretch of the path that is nothing but tree roots. Probably about a half K in length. This is what that path looks like. Oh did I mention that I twisted my right ankle! Surprise! I was busy looking up with my camera in my face and not where my feet were traveling.

A Florida Sunset

At RW golf course, I got to see many sunsets. This was one of them! I visit here a couple of times a year and always found watching the sunset a great time to sit quietly and just enjoy Mother Nature showing off her colours as she calls it a day!

The Tin Man

Some places describe the past. Black Creek Pioneer Village brings it to life.
Before we had electricity, moving water was the engine that turned the mill wheels of rural Canada, grinding grain into flour and providing a focal point for Ontario’s early communities. With the mill perched at the side of the stream, it wasn’t long until stores, a tavern, and a blacksmith shop were built nearby. Houses, a church and a school quickly followed. Over the past 150 years, most families have moved away from the land and into cities, leaving behind a way of life that defined early Ontario.
Four decades ago, Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) created a small agricultural community at Toronto’s northern edge that honours the ways of our early settlers. Today, Black Creek Pioneer Village offers you a fascinating journey into the past – into the way people lived before cars, digital technology and the dominance of urban culture separated them from the land.
Black Creek is a working village, typical of those established in south central Ontario between the 1790s and the 1860s. At Black Creek you are invited to escape the modern world, and experience Ontario’s rich rural heritage.
This is from the website of Black Creek Pioneer Village

Cloud Reflections

It was a cold day when I was at the Distillery District. I found the place very interesting but busy. I kept darting into the buildings to get warm and because they are buildings that have an old world charm. As the name implies these buildings housed beer and liquor making enterprises. They have since gone out of business or were bought out. I may go back at some point when it is not cold or crowded.
