A Garden Grows .....

While wandering around Queen St W in the Parkdale neighbourhood I stumbled upon this beautifully painted utility box. The artist for this one is Jon McTavish and it was part of a program the Bell Canada had to decorate their boxes in the area. This was a wonderful sight to see on a winter morning.

    This is really nice...such great summer colors, and I like how the doors are open which, as Grace notes, is like arms reaching out.

    This is such a excellent artistic project that the the City Of Toronto supports. Wish we had something like this in Pickering.

    I'm really surprised Bell agreed to let someone paint the equipment box.
