Leaves

 

A rare pleasant day called for a walk so I headed out for a bit. Walking along Bloor St W at Spadina I spotted these metal leaves attached to the grates over a ventilation shaft for the subway. I loved that someone thought of this and how it changed the whole atmosphere of the area from boring to something special. I couldn't find an artist signature.

How fine with all the different kinds of leaves. Great find. It took me a minute to realize the leaves were metal.

Oh, RedPat, I am not so sure. Looks like constant Autumn to me - why not something summery? But I agree, something is better than nothing!
