This bench by the sugar maple remains a favorite spot for people, even as the leaves drop and the days become darker earlier. (Time change this weekend too!)
@bjywamer@gardencat Hi Barb and Joanne. This is part of the University of Toronto's downtown campus. Fortunately, I live nearby so yes, Barb, I do go there to sit on occasion. It has become a really beautiful area. The university has just finished a major landscaping project here (called the Landmark Project), with many gardens featuring native plants and with wide walkways that are completely accessible (and with vehicles no longer allowed). Joanne, there are many more standard park-like benches all around, but there are also a number of amazing benches (like this one) that are built from rough-hewn logs, and the designs vary. They are real works of art (Barb, your Ken (and you) would appreciate the wood working skill). I love to go there on Sundays especially because there are fewer people and there is a nice leisurely feeling all about :-)
This looks like a lovely place to sit, I've thought that before when you've posted similar pictures of this bench. I'm pleased to read that you go and sit there yourself sometimes. Fav.
