The Ledge

This is possibly my favourite place in Edmonton. Before I came to Edmonton I had a list of places that I wanted to see before I left. The Alberta Legislature Building was on that list but more for a tour in air conditioning than anything else.
One sweltering Sunday evening friends of ours took us there and I feel in love with it. In front of the main building there is a giant, raised pond that is about knee deep. You can swim and wade around the pond and splash around in many of the smaller fountains that are in the gardens. There are also many walking paths, beautiful flowers, a very friendly security guard to make sure everyone stays safe and all sorts of people to look at.
I usually have to do a great deal of convincing of my other family members to get us to go but I love just sitting there in the quiet and watching all the people there.

The beautiful folliage. Grace thinks it's silly that I smell the flowers.
