This gorge in the West MacDonald Range is usually filled with water, but on this visit back in 1987 the main pool was dry.

Horses on the Lower Salt River -we paddle past quietly as they graze on the grasses in the water. Most of the time they do not run away.

Obviously quite a fuzzy picture. My camera had so much trouble taking wide angle shots of this very shady steep place.
There were precious few level areas at this place that I rented for 13 months. The property is on a very steep slope. I needed every inch I could get for my large collection of plants, so it was necessary to set up a growing area some two storeys down-slope from the other which was already one storey beneath my flat. My (feudal) landlords lived in the two storeys of the same house above me. Confused yet? That's okay. This means that the growing area pictured was 6 storeys below street level.
Before I got there this slope had been disturbed quite a lot and is more unstable and steep that it was before the house was built. There was a massive landslide 30 years ago and in the past 10 years the slope has been covered many times with many feet of very loose soft soil.
There was no way to access the area so Nhu and I built a treacherous stairway down it made of cinderblocks set horizontally atop each other. He and I work quite well as a team on most things and together we got inventive.
I had to be very careful walking down this slope to access the area, but got the hang of it after hundreds of trips.
Because of many threats to plants, namely that of infection with reniform nematodes, I have always grown my plants elevated at least 18” or more above open ground. To accomplish this in the least wasteful, simple and secure way, I placed wooden shipping palettes atop stacked cinderblocks. Obtaining and schlepping hundreds of heavy cinderblocks from house to house (,3 moves in 2008) and in this case down 6 storeys of steep staircases. Nhu was such a good sport to help! The things I do for plants!

In progress Art Relay @PanAmPath A Love Letter to the Great Lakes under ramp from Don Valley Parkway southbound to Gardiner Expressway westbound. Official photo opportunity still two days away, at which point the artists should get more rest beyond the hammock. Signs for bicyclists to dismount or go slow through the site, ask that the work team be left alone so that they can make a crazy deadline. (Lower Don Trail, Toronto, Ontario) 20160622

A little trip out to Kirklinton Hall today with flickr friend edenmatt and took plenty of photos of the old house and the associated falls in the gardens.
Progress is being made at the old house, an attempt to shelter it from the elements and the gardens have had a good clipping out.
Despite the gloomy overcast skies we managed to get some decent shots in.
Another trip is already being planned for a future date ... Thanks again Matt.
