Marigolds: A Welcome Patch of Gold






Marigolds, June, 2013
[Photos by KPA]

These marigolds were planted by a small strip mall in Mississauga (Ontario). This suburban landscape is one of the most dismal in Southern Ontario, where two semi-highways cross through the "city" center to go to other much more pleasant and aesthetic towns and cities. The throughways are in front the of the Failte Irish Pub. I posted photographs of the interior of the pub here. Its interior is a small oasis from the steel and concrete of the surrounding area.

I think the managers of the pub decided to beautify their exterior as well. These marigolds are no-where else in the city center.

They are a welcome patch of gold.
