T is for time and a tree

all good parks should have a clock to keep track of time (especially when you have to pay for parking)

and this is a great tilting tree to add interest to those sky shots.

the left version was taken this afternoon, while the one on the right is a winter shot.

today, the park was busy with people catching some cooling breezes in the 30 degree weather.

S is for Sakura

R is for round

a round house with a round garage. this can be found on Northshore Blvd (the prettiest street in Burlington) just down aways from my N post.

P is for Pier

and Promenade

at least the gulls get to enjoy the pier....

it is a prolonged, pathetic story about the Brant St Pier 

The top picture is from 2009, the middle one is 2010 and the bottom one is 2011. 

There is no change for 2012, though work has finally begun again to get it finished. Five years late. And many millions of dollars over budget.
