Another great day weatherize for Germaine & Tonie's hike along the Dorothy McCarthy Trail
61 Seniors' "gassed up" at the Pioneer Station for today's outing
A short walk down Ravine Drive brings us to the Trail Head
Our two indomitable Leaders bring the group up to speed on the day's itinerary
And down the trail we go
Liliane starts the count
Lake Ontario comes into view
Viewing the sculpture "Passages" by Marlene Hilton Moore. It depicts a rib cage of a Great Lakes Fish and represents the life events of Dorothy McCarthy and the Scarborough Bluffs
View looking west
Down we go to follow the trail east along the lake front
Stone cairns
They remind me of the Hindu Temple from last week
The peaceful trail ahead
"Trail Heads"
Catch up time
Lots of wild flowers litter the trail
Last push before lunch
Lunch on the Rocks
Lunch on the Logs
Germaine with her giant Pepper
Catch up time (again)
All present and correct
The climb to Guild Park & Gardens
Saved from the Temple Building formerly at 62 Richmond St, Toronto's first skyscraper
Bank of Montreal by Frances Loring
A number of artist were in the park sketching and painting
The Greek Theatre built from the remains of the Bank of Toronto
St. Francis and the Wolf by Robert Bowie
The Gardens in beautiful colour
Gates from the Produce Building 1890
It's quite the drop from the top of the Bluffs
"If you go down in the woods today" you should be able to see Rosemary
The tranquility of the Boardwalk
Fall is just around the corner and so is the Pub!
Ace's Place are the initials of the owner, Arthur Charles Ewing. What a wonderful establishment it is, service and ambiance top notch
Toasting Tonie & Germaine
Germaine & Tonie show their appreciation to the members
What a lovely outing thanks to our caring leaders, Germaine & Tonie, you turned the day into a memorable one. Liliane and Kevin were back in harness performing the much appreciated tasks of counting and sweeping. I personally want to to thank the Pub for serving "Stiegl Beer". An Austrian brew consisting of only hops, water, yeast & malt defined in the Purity Law of 1516. Get with it you Craft Beer Brewers!
