{Royal Ontario Museum}
Dear Friend Celia had arranged a visit to the Royal Ontario Museum for us on Monday, June 8.
It could not have been better arranged as it was a rainy day.
The modern 'crystal' addition, designed by Polish born and US raised architect Daniel Libeskind, has been merged with the existing, turn of the previous Century Royal Ontario Museum.
You can read more here: Our History | Royal Ontario Museum
And about the design here: Michael Lee-Chin Crystal
Just before we left to the ROM, this was the weather.
From our room at Hyatt Regency Toronto on King we could only see half of the CN Tower...
Showing the side and front of the original ROM.
Husband Pieter standing in front of the Rotunda...
The Rotunda with the four bands, symbolizing the four corners of the earth. It comes together with the eternal knot and it says: 'THAT - ALL MEN - MAY KNOW - HIS WORK'
Incredible Mosaic!
Blogger friend Celia M. High Heeled Life & Resilientista arranged that her friend Janice did meet us inside the crystal entrance.
Around 13:45 it still was raining.
After enjoying the ROM for 3 hours and 45 minutes, we walked to the Park Hyatt Toronto just across the street for going to The Roof Lounge on the 20th floor, from where we also had a great view onto the building.
Another great tip from friend Celia!
Restoration work going on.
The ROM is quite a futuristic building in this Toronto city setting.
I will show you later something from the exhibitions.
Thanks for your visit!

{Ixora 2015}
On July 3, I made these photos from our blooming Ixora...
An ant is crawling on top of its sweet flowers, snacking on some nectar I guess.
And something even bigger - a caterpillar with long hair!
As long as they don't eat the entire plant, that is fine!
