This sculpture, "Mooseconstrue", is made from water jet cut steel and is located on a busy corner of U of Toronto's campus. Done in 2002 by artist Charlie Pachter it continues his moose theme including a series with Queen Elizabeth II riding a moose.
These have always been one of my favourite spring flowers first remembering them from my Grandmother's garden. This pic was taken in my Mother's garden as she continues the tradition. Native to eastern Asia, Bleeding Hearts were first introduced to England in the 1800's and then on to N America.
The buildings beside us are being torn down making an already stressful time worse. Life sucks sometime.
This bronze sculpture titled "Horizon" was done by Walter Yarwood in 1964 and is installed on the front facade of Sidney Smith Hall at U of Toronto. It is typical of mid sixties art and suits its location on an early 60s modern building.
We have had a fabulous spring for flowers since our winter was very mild and now the Lilacs are filling the air with their beautiful scent. The weather has turned cool so hopefully they will last a long time this year.
All the plants are out at the garden centre but it is so cold today (8 degrees C) that no one was there. I hope they are all frost resistant.
There is something very welcoming and yet mysterious about an open gate. This one could use a bit of paint.
