A sundial and, as you would expect, it sits atop of an orca carving like a sort of pork pie hat.
This was created by Coast Salish (local indigenous peeps) carver Aubrey La Fortune and it sits in the middle of an herb garden, one of the many gardens at Government House. In the summer it smells positively gorgeous with the heat from the sun stirring up all the herby scents.
After taking those photos, I meandered through the neighbourhood and saw this front garden completely in bloom. Click to enlarge the second pic and look at the cut out shape of the wooden bits (can't think of the word!) on the front porch...

That sundial is brilliant. I want one. Even though I don't even have a garden at the moment.
ReplyDeleteAll the photos are lovely. Have a wonderful Weekend.
ReplyDeleteAw, thanks Marnie. You know how to press my buttons! I love the idea of the smells in the summer, and the carving is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteSo many tulips together make for such a scenic shot! Great pics and you've got great weather too!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colors in the garden, & loved the sundial! Great shots!
ReplyDeletevery unique sundial and you have colorful flower photos there
ReplyDeleteLove this cheerful one with the sunny flowers and the moody clouds below. Also hope you spoke to your audiologist about your hearing experience. Anything that feels "bad" should be trigger a consult, I think.
