UFOs? Not quite. Try Harbourfront, Toronto, Canada, at dusk.

Unusual seating structure - perhaps for a bear. The people seat is underneath.One of the many lichen-covered trees in a nearby park.

Discovered on a fall 2004 walk.

This is my multi-culture/multi-coloured yarrow. The original plant came from the local nursery three years ago, so somewhere along the way, Mother Nature got creative. Each spring when the yarrow returns, the colour spread is a tad different.

In the winter of 2002 and 2003, Mother Nature blew in with a vengeance. It was cold, cold, cold. One of my Juniper trees in the front, the runt, didn't make it. But she stood in her nearly-dead bronze glory (one lower branch remained green). Captured in later summer 2003 before the arborist's saw officially sent her to the end. In front more yarrow (orange) and the spreading artemesia

Roses are red

Hydro poles are yellow

Don't lean too close

Red rose hiding that hydro pole and yet another yarrow, pink this time, in front.

The butterflies came back in 2006. And they are frisky, frolicking in the fennel.
