Final Days of Autumn
An unseasonably warm November weekend found me wandering around the backyard in the morning with my iphone and later the two of us taking a walk in the park at the Guild Inn Park and Gardens. Well, three of us, if you count my camera...

The Guild Forest
Once an artist colony (hence the name), the park is situated on the Scarborough Bluffs, towering over the shoreline of Lake Ontario. A beautiful escape from the city, only minutes from major roadways.
