On The Pathway

I returned to Commissioners Park twice in the last week. The first occasion was on Monday, Victoria Day, the last day of the festival. As you can imagine, it was quite busy. I started from the usual spot, at the north west portion of the park near the Dow's Lake Pavilion.


A gardening company on site happened to have some of these garden statues out and about, including one placed by a bed of tulips. I'll pick up here tomorrow.
