—the next day, I watch Ron paint for a while, then drive into town for a Tim Hortons, which I take with me to The Sisters, an area named for the two big rocks we dove off as kids ... getting out to them was an accomplishment when we were novice swimmers ... since then, the water level has dropped a couple of feet and kids can now wade to them through water that’s rarely more than waist-deep ... this beautiful strip of shoreline with its two big rocks is, nowadays, called Memorial Park, though not by those of us who knew it back when—we still call it The Sisters— from Time Away
this was taken on tank range (military) property, which is normally off-limits to the public ... I gained access on Renaissance Weekend as a passenger on a tour bus which, in the above shot, is parked behind me under a large stand of maples ... near it are a scattering of mostly older folk, some of them stretching to get the kinks out, some pointing at things, and one taking a picture of some boats against a tree
twice a week, Island Girl and I catch the Davisville subway to Lawrence ... from there we walk south a few blocks to Muir Park where, just inside the entrance, I unleash her and we make our way toward a favourite hillside trail which, in the above photo, begins just beyond the benches
I'm not in the habit of photographing burials, but this one caught my eye for the same reason it may have caught yours ... clicking the image will enlarge it

the monument with the crane on top is the 54-storey Quantum2 North Tower just south of Yonge & Eglinton (about a mile away)
this section of trail overlooks the tennis courts and bowling greens

The store on the NW corner (across from the BofM) had been a Richards Big and Tall men's shop back in the early 1980s.
