An oak sapling stands in front of James Monroe High School in Fredericksburg City, Va., on June 13, 2023. Husband and wife, Carl and Anne Little began the nonprofit, Tree Fredericksburg, after receiving a grant to plant trees around a playground near their home. Since then, the nonprofit has had over 500 volunteers helping to increase tree canopy in Fredericksburg. The Chesapeake Bay Program released an Urban Tree Canopy Strategy in 2015 that aimed for a net gain of 2,400 acres of tree canopy in urban areas of the Bay by 2025.

Volunteer Adopt-A-Tree programs help newly planted trees on public lands thrive in the first 3 to 5 years after planting – the toughest years for tree survival. With basic tree-tending techniques such as mulching, weeding, and weekly watering, volunteer adopters greatly improve each young tree's probability of survival. Adopt-A-Park-Tree is a partnership between LEAF and Park People which is working to bring this model of tree stewardship to Friends of Park groups across Toronto. We've coined this program Adopt-A-Park-Tree.
In 2014, LEAF and Park People are collaborating once again to support a small number of Toronto’s Friends of Parks groups that wish to initiate their own Adopt-a-Park-Tree program. In order to do this, we've created an Adopt-A-Park-Tree Manual to walk you through every step of the proces.

I meet this old man often almost every other weekend at the same location in the park - meditating and stretching. I tried to make myself invisible while shooting him, but i think i distracted him, and eventually he went off looking for another corner and some solitude
22nd Serpentine Pavilion 2023 À table designed by Lina Ghotmeh - Architecture
(June – October 2023)
Inspired by the architect’s Mediterranean heritage and fervent discussions around the table over current affairs, politics, personal lives, and dreams, the Pavilion is titled À table – a French call to sit down together at a table to engage and participate in dialogue while sharing a meal. As such, the interior of the Pavilion features a concentric table along the perimeter, inviting us to convene, sit down, think, share and celebrate exchanges that enable new relationships to form.
Considering food as an expression of care, the Pavilion’s design is a space for grounding and reflection on our relationship to land, nature and environment. By offering a moment of conviviality around a table, Ghotmeh welcomes us to share the ideas, concerns, joys, dissatisfactions, responsibilities, traditions, cultural memories, and histories that bring us together.
Inspired by Ghotmeh’s Mediterranean heritage and lively discussions around the table over current affairs, politics, personal lives, and dreams, the Pavilion is titled À table – a French call to sit together at the table to share a meal and enter into dialogue. As such, the interior of the Pavilion features a circular table along the perimeter, inviting us to convene and celebrate exchanges that enable new relationships to form. Considering food as an expression of care and offering a moment of conviviality around a table, Ghotmeh welcomes us to share the ideas, concerns, joys, dissatisfactions, responsibilities, traditions, cultural memories, and histories that bring us together.
Ghotmeh defines her approach to architecture as an ‘Archaeology of the Future’. Built predominantly from bio-sourced and low-carbon materials, the Serpentine Pavilion 2023 continues her focus on sustainability and designing spaces that are conceived in dialogue with the history and natural environment that surrounds them. The form of the Pavilion responds to the shape of the park’s tree canopies. Internal wooden beams that encircle the perimeter of the structure emerge as thin tree trunks and the fretwork panels that sit between the beams feature plant-like cut out patterns, aiding ventilation and allowing natural light to come in. The Pavilion’s pleated roof is inspired by the structure of a palm leaf, while the lightwell in the middle furthers the space’s integration with its setting. The modest, low roof takes inspiration from togunas: structures found in Mali, West Africa, that are traditionally used for community gatherings to discuss current issues, and also offer shade and relief from heat. The low-lying roofs of these structures encourage people to remain seated peacefully and take pause throughout discussions.
In this design, Ghotmeh also honours the history of the Serpentine South building, which was originally a teahouse. Designed by James Grey West, the building opened in 1934 and was converted into an art gallery in 1970. In the summer months until the early 1960s, the café’s seating area also expanded to the lawn, which the Pavilion now occupies.

In the ancient city of Paestum, a remarkable scene unfolds where the beauty of nature intertwines with the legacy of history. Two majestic trees stand tall, their vibrant green branches reaching towards the heavens, a symbol of life and vitality. Beneath their canopy, the weathered ruins of Paestum echo with the whispers of centuries past, a testament to the passage of time and the resilience of human endeavor. Against the backdrop of a sky painted in the deepest hues of blue, this juxtaposition of life and history creates a mesmerizing tableau that speaks to the enduring beauty of both the natural world and the human spirit.

I was working away in Norwich earlier in the year. Fortunately I had my camera with me, because Eaton Park was in easy walking distance from where I was staying. Perfect for bit of photography during a lunch break!
In person, the sea of yellow from these trees just felt overwhelming. I happy that I managed to capture that feeling with this shot.

When I stop to take photos, I often have to run to catch up.
These hiking photos are all a bit blurry and dark, but it was lovely in person and I wanted some sort of visual record.
