Centennial Park, sundial

This sundial is located in the Column Garden in Centennial Park. The bronze sundial on the sandstone plinth features the inscription "Gather Ye Rosebuds While Ye May". The flower beds in the background feature some colourful Autumn blooms.

    "Gather Ye Rosebuds While Ye May"

    A nice reminder that we should, indeed, stop to "smell the flowers."

    Joe, I took this shot before daylight savings had ended, so I did notice that it was out by about an hour.

    Today, in church, a visiting speaker spoke on Be still, aka stop.

    Agree with Louis la Vache
