Lilies

 

It is lily season here although it feels like it is a bit early to me. These beauties were being blown around by really strong winds but they were tough and survived easily.

Loves The Dill

 

I had two Black Swallowtail caterpillars munching away on my dill for a couple of days and then we had a big storm and they have disappeared. I'm hoping they are hiding out somewhere safe.

A Place To Relax

 

I am going to finish my shots from Massey College with this shot of one of the lounge areas in the college. Those chairs are really comfortable and like all of the rest of the furniture and even those shutters in this pic they were designed by the architect of the building, Ron Thom. A place to relax at the end of our tour.

Wisdom Windows

 

These "Wisdom Windows" were found in one of the rooms at Massey College. They were commissioned to honour the outstanding women associated with the college and done by glass artist Sarah Hall in 2009. The scale is quite large and effective.

Sign Of The Times

 

It is a sign of the times that early on a Sunday morning this food delivery guy was dropping off a small bag from a coffee place to this building which is a residence at the University of Trinity College which is part of U of Toronto. People seem to get so many things delivered these days.

A Cool Spot

 

This is another pool found in the courtyard of Massey College. It looks and sounds so cool with the plants and fountains especially on a hot day.

"Treaty Of Niagara"

 

This is a section of a mural by indigenous artist Philip Cote found running along a stairway in Massey College. It was impossible to get the whole mural into a shot with all the people wandering about the college during the open house. The mural depicts the proclamation of Treaty Of Niagara in 1763 which was to establish the nation to nation relationship between the Aboriginal people and the Crown.
