I noticed this beautiful corridor when we visited Abbaye De St-Benoît-Du-Lac, Quebec, Canada. When I saw a monk passing by I took this image.
This image was named as the honourable mention in the “Urban Canada” category in the 30th Annual Photo Competition organized by Canadian Geographic.

Stepping stone pathway bordering my assorted red hybrid tea rose collection. I think the blues are a lovely compliment to the reds.
The Hell Gate Pathway is a pedestrian and bike path that runs through the monumental arcade, connecting to the larger waterfront pathway system that circles the Island. The northern end of the Pathway leads across the Bronx Kill by crossing to the South Bronx Greenway and onward to the larger Bronx Borough Greenway.

Day Ten .. a visit to Bodnant gardens before making our way to Liverpool for the night.
Bodnant Garden nestles in the Conwy Valley at the heart of an age-old farming community dotted with hafods - stockmens’ summer dwellings - and ancient drovers’ tracks.
Earliest records show that Bodnant (which in Welsh means 'dwelling by a stream') was home to the Lloyd family from the reign of James 1, passing by marriage to the Forbes family in the mid 1700s. In 1792 Colonel Forbes built an Italianate mansion to replace an earlier house and developed the parkland around the new Bodnant Hall, in English Landscape style. During the 1700s the River Hiraethlyn and a leat in the Dell (believed to be Tudor in origin) served a blast furnace nearby, and also a mill.
On Colonel Forbes’ death in 1820 the estate passed by marriage again to William Hanmer, sixth son of the baronet of Bettisfield Park in Flintshire. Hanmer made his own improvements, building the present Old Mill between 1828 and 1837, and extending the upper garden around the mansion house.
When Victorian industrialist Henry Davis Pochin bought Bodnant at auction in 1874 it was an estate with walled garden, woods and plantations, but it was Pochin's grand vision which shaped the garden into the world renowned one which we know today.
Pochin enlisted the skills of landscape designer Edward Milner to develop the formal Victorian shrub garden around the house, including the famous Laburnum Arch. He also sculpted the sloping valley sides down to the river, planting North American conifers and creating pathways to form the romantic dells and water gardens.
The transformation continued under Pochin's daughter Laura McLaren who developed the wild garden in the Far End at the turn of the century. Laura was also a lover of herbaceous plants and did more to develop the upper formal gardens in the newly emerging Edwardian style, with billowing flower borders.
Laura gifted the care of the garden to her son Henry McLaren on his 21st birthday, who embraced the Arts and Crafts style in his design of the stunning Italianate Terraces (built 1904-1914). Henry (1st Lord Aberconway) also sponsored the expeditions of plant hunters such as Ernest Wilson and George Forrest, who brought back to Bodnant Garden ‘exotic’ new Asian plants, notably magnolias and rhododendrons. With his head gardener Frederick Puddle, Henry also bred many unique hybrid rhododendrons.
It was Henry who gifted Bodnant Garden to the National Trust in 1949. After his death in 1952, his son Charles McLaren (2nd Lord Aberconway) continued to develop Bodnant Garden with the Trust, making improvements, opening new vistas and adding new plants.
Charles’ son Michael McLaren inherited the estate in 2003 and remains keenly involved to this day, as garden director. He maintains the family’s historic and creative links to the garden in a new era of 21st century developments, which have included the opening of private areas such as the Winter Garden, Old Park, Yew Dell, Far End and Furnace, as well as redesign projects for The Bath, The Canal Terrace borders and the East Garden.

Forgotten Feet
By
Roger Turner
If you see a lonely furrow,
In some desolate spot,
Think of those who walked this way,
In this place that time forgot.
What stories could this pathway tell,
Of those forgotten feet.
All sorts of boots and sizes,
And ladies shoes, petite.
Maybe a tired old donkey,
Carrying a heavy pack.
Or the plodding of a lost horse,
Finding its own way back.
A mumbling monk says rosary,
From beads around his neck,
While heading from the mother house,
On his solitary trek.
See the little farm boy,
Leading a bull to stud.
Or the shepherd with a flock sheep,
Turning the pathway to mud.
Children happily running,
Singing songs as they play.
Or the beggar in rags and in tatters,
Searching for berries this day.
But maybe darker secrets,
Are hidden just out of sight,
Like the grave of the Unknown Soldier,
Killed in a battle one night.
They all walked this same pathway,
As you and I do today.
So spare a thought for forgotten feet,
As you journey on your way.
Took a trip recently to Avery Island. Did not bother with the Tabasco Factory, but rather spent a few hours at Jungle Gardens exploring the beautiful landscapes and pathways.

View of Blencathra from Latrigg on a cold January morning. Blencathra is also known as Saddleback and has a height of 2,848 feet.
Down to watch the sunrise near land and sea where palm trees, trees and bushes grow. This was an oil painting that was at the fleamarket at the Dutchess Mall on Route 9 in Fishkill, New York.
I came across this peaceful, verdant pathway nestled deep inside a desert canyon in Arizona in August — the one place and time on earth you'd least expect to see vibrant green ferns, vines and mosses — yet here they are. It's a paradoxical and amazing place to behold!
this shot was taken somewhere in Upper Seletar Reservoir SG. Shot info: Canon 5D MII | Canon 17-40 | B+W ND110 | GND filters | 3mins exposure
From a trip to Riverbend Park. It was really too late in the morning for shooting, and way too hot, but walking through the woods was a small respite, with the shade offering a nice break from the hot sun. A beautiful park.
Many thanks for stopping by. Your visits and comments are always welcome and appreciated. Have a terrific weekend.
