3. Hill behind Ambleside
4. Old hydrant indicator, Ambleside
5. Cross-lake ferry and lots of geese, Bowness
6. It's not quite Garda, Dianne...
7. But not too bad for England in July!
8. More of the same

A couple of days ago, I was trying to work in my pottery studio. Road construction outside was getting annoying, so I went for a little walk down in the park. I took my camera, and these pics resulted. Even though they're not from the Accy area, I thought you might like to see where I live now - the outskirts of Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

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.

Anyway here a my attempts at nature photographs from my garden.

I should be out there now laid on the grass wearing my woolly swimming costume with baggy legs, drinking wine from an old tin mug.
My sunburnt supple manly body glistening in the afternoon air, muscles rippling, female admirers trying to climb the fence for a better look.
Well I can dream if nowt else.
