1. Going down to the park level.

2. Queen Ann's Lace - at first I thought the red bit in the centre was a bug, but closer inspection revealed it to be red petals. All the flowers in this patch had that, I don't know if it's unusual or not.

3. Chickory, I think (got to learn more about Canadian wild flowers).

4. Going towards the river, dodging the noisy grass cutters and their gigantic machines.

5. Almost there.

6. A shady spot, but no picnic lunch today sadly.

7. The Credit River - a little muddier and running faster than it normally does this time of year. Due to the heavy rains of the past week, I think. Got my feet wet for this one! (inspired by dave mac)

8. They looked pinker in real life.

9.Looking back to where I'd come from.

10. Back to work.

It looks like a nice area -I've never been to Canada though my husband visits every few years for the Royal Winter Show (he's a "dairy" man!)
You mention being a potter -would love to see some pics of your studio and your work!
