A reminder to members of City Daily Photo: the theme for September 1st is Red.
Near the west entrance of Riverside Park in Guelph is a garden area, wheelchair accessible, with a multitude of plants and flowers that this time of year are at their height. It includes a gazebo and a floral clock, and is quite a peaceful spot to spend time in.
What beautiful gardens! You visited at the right time.
ReplyDeleteGreat clock! I love that they are making parks more accessible. We baby boomers are aging, like it or not.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful! Here the weather was too crazy to create such beauty this year, so... thank you.
ReplyDeleteA very pleasant park.
ReplyDeleteI just wished I could sit on one of these benches ! Looks beautiful !
ReplyDeleteFloral clocks evoke memories of earlier decades. Now, people aren't even comfortable with analog time.

ReplyDeleteLove the clock...do the flowers bloom at the times of day to follow the theme of the clock? Somehow I have Four O'Clock plants which open at 8 am, and close up during the heat of the day!
