Beacon Hill Park forms the eastern boundary of James Bay. Throughout the year, it offers our residents a place of quiet beauty, where a morning walk can enrich our lives with Nature’s most amazing gifts. I know this because I walk there from my home in James Bay almost every morning and photograph the animals, lakes, flowers and so much more. The following photos were all taken in Beacon Hill Park. Enjoy! ―Jim Chapman

A creative twist on the neighbourhood bulletin board, this telephone pole has been reappropriated by the residents of Lewis Street for public poetic expression.

The lyrical offerings range from free verse stylings to elegant and simple haikus.

If you’re walking on Dallas Street it’s not too much of a side-trip to visit the poetry pole. It's sure to garner a smile, perhaps even a chuckle, and who knows, you might be inspired to compose your own contribution in verse.

This is part of an irregular series of posts about the things that make James Bay unique. If you know of a place, a person, or an event that makes James Bay different from everywhere else, then we’d like to hear about it: joel[at]jamesbay.org.
