Tucked away off the beaten track is one of Ontario's oldest and most beautiful, small cities with such a fantastical and intriguing history that it would rival that of many of Europe's oldest cities. The small city wraps itself around the old limestone-bedded, snaking Moira River with one of the oldest, still-standing, limestone mills, the mill itself the centre upon which the settlement grew. Named after Lady Arabella Gore, wife of Sir Francis Gore, after their visit to the small settlement in 1816, Belleville boasts some of the finest architectural beauties to be found in the province of Ontario. One of these timeless treasures rests in the area known as the 'Old East Hill' of Belleville. Glanmore sits aloof and untouchable amidst century old trees and fine Victorian homes.Built of a ...

It’s 5:04 am . The morning greeting of the Baltimore Oriole in the tall Blue Spruceoutside my window is a continuous song of thankfulness and 'hello!'. Crow calls from a distant Oak as he begins his early morning rounds. Phoebe addsa soft ‘pee wee’ pee wee’ from a Japanese Maple branch, not to be outdone. The day has begunand how blessed I feel to be brought into the new day in such a fine and beautiful way. The birds of the Old East Hill are as much a part of the fabric that comprises the feeling one has here of permanence and time immemorial, as the trees and the widestreets and majestic homes are. All things tie in together to form a symphonythat plays to the souls of visitors and residents as they go about their daily lives.How wonderful it is to be serenaded by such subliminal ...
It was very still and humid yesterdayafternoon when I visited Corby Parkin Belleville . The park was quiet and for a long time I was the only one there. As I walked around taking my pictures and noting the buds which had already begun to open, a man and his dog took a shortcut down the winding brick path that traverses the park. Not long after a young Mother and her little girl began a stroll around the park. The little girl was exuberant the way only a child can be as she climbed on the masonry wall of the water fountain.‘Look, Mom ! There’s no water in here yet !’ she loudly proclaimed. Her Mother replied to her ‘No, I wonder when they will turn the fountain on? I would love to find a white rose . Let’s go and look down there.’. They continued on their way and eventually found the...
It's nearing midnight and the streets lay silently beneath the oldest residents of the Old East Hill. Residents whose personal names are unknown to the people who they shelter from the wind, sun, rain and smog on a daily basis.They are simply known as 'Maple' , 'Beech', 'Old Pine on the Corner', 'Crooked Crabapple on Victoria', 'Oak' and a myriad of other names which people have long forgotten.It's late spring now. The towering nameless residents are wearing their finest greenery and tiny nestlings cry to be fed in the crotched branches high above the sidewalks.I walk along pretending not to notice . I look at them sometimes, I sense them looking back.Smiling back. Their presence leaves me with a glowing faith that everything is ok here. More than ok.The Old East Hill is loved. Loved by...
The morning sun peeks mischievously around the corner of your breakfast cove window and falls upon your hand as you reach for your bone china coffee mug. Friends sit across from you and gaze out the window at the gently waving maple branches that grace your side yard. Your friends have never been to Belleville before and you are anxious to show them all the beauty that can be found here. Where should you take them? As you gaze in deep reflection at the tiny pink roses on your Tranquility coffee mug, an idea enters your mind . Why, you’ll take them to The Corby Rose Garden ! This time of year is almost prime for viewing the hundreds of varieties of roses in the garden as their flower buds swell and begin to open. And the scents ! Did I mention the scents ? They’re glorious...
