An English Walnut tree (Juglans regia) on Melville Avenue near Westmount Park School.

From Wikipedia:

“In the Chinese language, the edible, cultivated walnut is called 胡桃 (hú táo in Mandarin), which means literally “Hu peach”, suggesting the ancient Chinese associated the introduction of the tree into East Asia with the Hu barbarians of the regions north and northwest of China.

In Mexico, it is called nogal de Castilla, suggesting the Mexicans associated the introduction of the tree into Mexico with Spaniards from Castile (as opposed to the black walnuts native of America).”

A prayer meeting, over the weekend, inside the park’s gazebo, by the Canadian Bible Society. The meeting was held entirely in Latin American Spanish.

One of several wood carvings above the church’s front entrance.

The base on an old street lamp; it isn’t the typical Washington Lamp currently used throughout the city. The bolts connecting the base to the post are covered with decorative moldings.

I recently noticed a similar lamp base (not in very good condition) on Victoria Avenue, next to the RBC Canada Bank.

Taking a break, during a humid Sunday afternoon, after taking all these pictures.

I have noticed, this summer, that a group of individuals have taken an interest in metal detecting in the park. Frankly, all they seem to be accomplishing is disturbing the ducks that use this area as a shelter.

The church’s corner stone – a “bit of a challenge” to locate.

The church’s side door.

Perpendicular windows on the side of the church.
