One of my favorite channels to fall asleep to besides #BedTimeStories, #BeyondCreepy, #RavenReads & #WartimeStories is #TheLeaf. The only one that helps me have nightmares is Raven Reads, she's good.

Red Rio Grapefruit bloom
Jasmine Bloom
Green leaves with sun shining through
Needing some nourishment
They went to The Leaf
Aromas and colours and sunlight enveloped them
While they munched their edibles
And imbibed their libations

Today I decided not to take any pictures at The Leaf. That decision lasted an enormously short time. Colour and texture was what drew my attention.

September coming in cool
Even the biomes at The Leaf were cool today
New flowers and plants keep surprising us
Still, should have worn something with sleeves

Refreshing reminder that there is still beauty in this world

I had time enough for a quick tour of this beautiful garden at Assiniboine Park. I’ll come back one day to see #TheLeaf
assiniboinepark.ca
If one needs to be inside
Let the lilies greet you with their perfume
And the butterflies fragility remind you of the state of the world and the resilience of life beyond that of what we know
Thankful for this dome of wonder

Quiet, and surprisingly cool, morning at The Leaf before heading out to pick up Gdpa from the hospital.

On a rainy cool day it would make sense to stay home, curl up with a good book. Or one could go to The Leaf and see nature unfolding and be inspired to go to a nursery to pick up one or two additional plants.

Signed a warrant against this snail when we enquired what purpose they served in the Mediterranean zone at The Leaf. Apparently they come in with the plants and can be destructive. No other snails were seen but the flowers and pedestrian traffic were perfect.

Couldn’t resist checking out Fleurs de Villes #TheLeaf. Such a lovely collaboration between local arts groups and florists!
The perfect way to celebrate the 23rd anniversary since Craig & I first met. 💕🌸 3/3
