Casa Loma in the summer - the grounds

these cattails are quite lovely - made me sneeze but otherwise, lovely - i last saw these when i was a little girl back in the old country.

there was a display overhead, too, of the beautiful summer sky.

there were black-eyed susans everywhere in the garden!

first time i've seen tiger grass, reminds me of snakes, 'though!

the tower, as seen from the garden.

again, the tiger grass.

the south tower as seen from the fountain.

the garden held a variety of flowers and plants.

the tropicals were in abundance in the Casa Loma garden.

and you always come back to the one that reminds you of home.
