Information below from leaflet from Minterne Gardens:
The Minterne Valley, landscapped in the manner of Capability Brown in the 18th century, has been the home of the Churchill and Digby families for 350 years. The gardens are laid out in a horseshoe below Minterne House, with a chain of small lakes, waterfalls and streams. They contain an important collection of Himalayan Rhodocdendrons and Azaleas, with Spring bulbs, Cherries, Maples and many fine and rare trees; the garden is noted for its Autumn colouring.
Of particular note are the large plants of Magnolia Campbellii which flower in March and April, together with a profusion of spring bulbs. Many flowering cherries were brought from Japan in 1920 and the Pieris Forrestii with their brilliant scarlet shoots, originally came from Wakehurst. A very fine collection of Davidia Involucrata (the pocket handkerchief tree) produce striking bracts in late May and early June, when the streams are lined with primulas, astilbes and other water plants.

A couple sits on a bench enjoying the autumn colours while another walk along the path, in a park of the Don Valley Park System. The Don Valley is one of Toronto's major watersheds.
Found a new path I had not taken before. Actually does not get used nearly as much as the other paths in this reserve.

Fiumedinisi (ME), eve of the Feast of Our Lady of the Annunciation, 2013: this is a "penitential procession" understood as "the Travels" (or also commonly called "procession of kneeling"), in which the faithful, almost all women, proceeding on their knees, sometimes even barefoot, along a narrow street, about 800 meters long, almost always dark, lit only in some places, especially illuminated by the dim light from robust candles, also used as support from every penitent; the procession starts inside the church of S. Peter, to continue until the stairway in front of the Cathedral (which is also a Marian Shrine), who once traveled, still on their knees, will bring every penitent devout inside the Sanctuary, always proceeding on their knees, in front of the statues of Our Lady and Angel Gabriel, placed one in front of the other, at the foot of the main altar ....
Technique: Lines, Specular, Rule of Thirds
Post Processing: Warmed it up with color enhancement - for a more painterly effect.
Why Chose: I like the placement & curve of the path from it's starting position in the foreground to its last curve in the background; I like the specular light casting shadows along the path and brush/trees along the way; I like the effect of the light - bright at the top of the photograph and fading darker toward the bottom of the photograph; And I like the pairing of the structured lines that create the boardwalk and the natural and varying lines that the trees and branches create.
“Although the road is never ending take a step and keep walking, do not look fearfully into the distance... On this path let the heart be your guide for the body is hesitant and full of fear.” ~ Rumi
Here's one of the walking paths last month at the Blackwater Falls State Park in Tucker County, West Virginia.
