This one has been on the books for awhile and seeing it come to life this summer has been nothing short of amazing. The design is simple, playful and elegant. The palette is refined and inspired by the site.

A serious team effort was involved.. more on the evolution, making and implenting of the design to come.

Check out this beautiful mural at the #humberpond featuring the local flora and fauna of the area.

I am really happy to be taking part in a local volunteer effort to remove garlic mustard from invading this area -- we proved that when we come together for a common cause, we can achieve great things.

Special thanks to @torontofieldnaturalists for sharing so much amazing knowledge and to the city of toronto for making this happen.

Looking forward to re-naturalizing this beautiful cottage with grasses and #nativewildflowers
Also taking a break from 3D modeling to dust off my photoshop and #digitaldrawing skills.

Feel good Friday flowers -- Anyone else tempted to get out in the garden this weekend?
Just a friendly reminder that many of our pollinators are just waking up. Take care not to disturb them and let the leaves lie a little longer.
