As I’ve mentioned here before, one of my favourite in-town getaways is the nearby but somehow remote Tommy Thompson park, which sits at the far end of the ports district and the Toronto Islands chain. Nefarious and I went there today in the mist of the rain, having just eaten a sushi lunch inside a giant wooden pirate ship at a park near the docks. We were pleasantly surprised not just with thousands of snails who were up and off of the wet earth, but by a beautiful sculpture garden full of hobo inuksuks, shrines, crosses, and walled gardens with thousands of flowers, cacti, and berry bushes carefully planted throughout, having been built up from the rubble that litters the rocky beach.
There is so much beauty tucked away in the nooks and crannies of our planet, and sometimes it is seen by the world, and sometimes only a few sets of eyes ever appreciate it or even discover it. My thanks go to the wild people who created this.
Lots of big pictures…

Thank you for sharing. I mean that in every way of course. You are one of those rare types that show this reality to be magically delicious, which of course it is and always will be. A thistle bloom is beautiful, because. A child too. :) I hope your Father’s Day is as wonderful as your Fathering, or half that.
