Edward garden 2017

This summer break I try to bring my kids around as much as possible spending time with them while enjoying things Toronto has to offer. We are not going to live here forever afterall. As much as I like to travel and going out. My passion really is the beauty of nature. Gardens , flowers I love them.

This year we went to Edward garden again. Edward garden is home to Toronto botanical garden. This time we really tour all the places the garden has to offer.

I have pictures to share. 

Posing at the entrance.

One with Diha posing habis.


One with the awesome mommy. Building behind is the visitor centre. Cantik pulak tu.

Look at this garden. This is love in green.


In conjunction with Canada 150 of independence. 

Flowers 


Behind Diha. Aloe Vera gajah. 


Flower beds. I would prefer the chair facing those flowers. So that i can oogle them for hours. 


Melintas titi di taman. If you wonder what depa dok jakun. Its frog.


Small creek in the garden. 


Now we arrived at the other park. This is bigger with a long trail for biking, jogging, or simply walking. Really really long. 


The red bridge. That bronze color is rust actually. Tapi cantik pulak. 


Overwhelming love. 




The souveniers store is soooooo cute!!!!.

While we cant visit this garden everyday, not even every months!!! So far I just manage to go every year!!!!lol. I have my own garden close to my heart. I love spending my time out there in the afternoon with my coffee. 

Presenting to you tada!!!!My garden at home My little oasis. 


My flower beds. Nice sunshine. 



Probably does not have as much flowers as the Edwards Garden. But still they give me so much love. 

My outdoor lounge.

Our little field at the back. 

I always find myself appreciating Allah love for beauty and perfection in his beautiful natural world that he created. Therefor while all this beauty is the beauty of Dunya so it may seem. It actually tools for us to get closer to Allah if only we recognize and appreciates the miracles these beautiful nature and aware of its creator. 

Black Creek Pioneer Village

This tourist attraction within Toronto takes us back to the year 1800 simulating the life of Canadian and what their houses look like about 150 years ago. 


What the village looks like in the 1800.


I love to watch drama thats setting is back in the old times like "when call hearts" downtoon abbey". Well the buildings pretty much looks like this.



Some of the houses looks like this and this is an original doll house which was built for rich girls back on those days to play with. 


Watching a demonstrasion in the metal shop. 




The city hall inside and out. Places where they meet and discuss law and policies amongst the villager and the mayor.

The cabinet shop. 


How dining room in a doctors house looks like.


The farmers home.

The mill.

The vegetable garden within the village vicinity.

More of the village road an ambience.

Within this village there are tour guide with 1800 costume . This lady is explaining how a doctor back in those days treat patient at their home.

We spent about half a day taking tours and listening to demo. I somehow fell a bit sad and depress going in all these houses. Maybe because the facts that its old and really gloomy. But I like the exterior. The surrounding nature. 

Summer Break Toronto Sightseeing HarbourFront

Sometime we go around to other places and yet have not explored our own. *lol* . Me including, thats why I will try to go to Toronto attractions as much as I could with the kids.

This summer break is the best time to do that. My boys actually complain and say "Its true la Ummi what abah says about you, you always want to see everything. 

Today we travel to downtown by Go Train. Different from Ttc ( Toronto Transit Commission ) that handle all public transportation in Toronto, this Go Train is operated by Go transit and their train usually go to a longer distance. Between cities in Toronto. Another train system provided by ViaRail and that goes in between states in Canada.

The train coming!!! Jakun orang kampung.


In the train. So different from our ussual noisy subway ride.


Did I mention its a 2 storey train. We ride on the 2nd floor. *sukeeee sangat****

Once we arrived we went to Harbourfront and start our sightseeing there. Harbourfront is situated next to the lake. There is a lot to see for free all along the lake. 

Beautiful sunny day with great weather. It was 23c. Its beautiful.


The beautiful deck along the lake.


Pier along harbourfront.


The kids on top of amsterdam bridge.


View of the city skyline, one of the buildings is abah's office building.


Toronto skyline from the lake. 


One of me *nak jugak*


There is also man made beach at the lake. 

Then we go and walk along the deck enjoying the sun and scenery untill we reach the music garden.

 
All along the harbourfront there is a lot of garden with bench. This is another view of the pier from the garden. 

There is so much beauty along the harbourfront sidewalk. I wish i can capture them all here. Truth are the presence human experience cant compare to the beauty on screen. Nevertheless I will try to share as much here. In the hope that in the future I will look back to this and remember the pleasure it feels once on that fine sunny day stroling by the Ontario lake in enjoying this. *cheesy*.


Beautiful green grass. Rase nak baring je atas die. Patut la kat Malaysia kite panggil rumput karpet.

Later we arrived at a very special garden called music garden. It was design as a large music note amd from time to time there is a special music played for you to enjoy while in the garden. 


Fresh water drain in this basin on the stone. I saw birds came and drink from this basin.


Lavender. 😍😍😍😍


From the garden we can still sit at the bench and enjoy the pier.


More area with such a dense colorful flowers. 

One more of makcik perasan.


While sitting the kids also enjoyed feeding the birds. 
 
There is so much places to go and see in Toronto itself. As much as I could I will try to see as much as I can. I do love spending the time exploring them.
