The Hidden Trail

The hidden trail is adjacent to the train tracks in Montreal West; photos taken the end of August, 2024.

The hidden trail in May 2024

I pass surprisingly few people when I walk along the hidden trail; photos taken on 20 May 2024.

Revisiting the hidden trail

 

Memo from Montreal to Toronto:

 

A green belt is for perpetuity,

not for the convenience

of politicians and their friends;

this housing Ford wants,

it's 1950s suburban development,

letting developers and politicians get rich.

Note: Premier Doug Ford of Ontario is relentless in his support for building houses on the green belt outside of Toronto. I doubt he understands that a population that, in general, supports climate change is not sympathetic to building houses and highways on the green belt. Why not build on land zoned residential? The project is already sullied with corruption.

The Canadian Cottage Garden, end of July 2023

 

It is just as I wanted it to be. To sit in the garden, surrounded by flowers, and on a hot summer day to have insects, wild bees, and butterflies going from flower to flower, busy with their work of pollination and collecting pollen and nectar.

 The joy of being in nature.
