More of the signs from Honest Ed's showing a bit of the sense of humour that he had. I intend to go back at night before it closes at the end of the month and get a night shot of the big signs at the corner of Bathurst & Bloor. The 4.5 acre property that includes the store and many heritage buildings along Markham St are to be developed with several towers of varying sizes as well as parks and the renovation of some of the heritage buildings.

I spotted this woman at the top of the stairs leading to Casa Loma as she was taking pics of the CN Tower in the distance. She was dressed rather elegantly compared to most tourists who have climbed the 110 steps to the top. As you can see it was a bit hazy that day so I'm not sure how her pics turned out.
I showed you a utility box a while ago with exactly the same design on it as this one but I'm showing it from a different angle. The artist, Gary Taxali, must use a good stencil or vinyl sheeting to get such an exact fit on the box. I found this one quite far from the usual locations for these so it is good to see that the city is spreading the art out into the whole city.

This wonderful little doorway is on the side of a small rather boring factory building but when it was built someone made an effort to make the entrance interesting. So many times this would have been an uninteresting flat steel door but here we have this nice deco detailing. Love it!
These two black squirrels could not agree to share their lunch. The one up top on the loop tried to get onto the lower part of the feeder a couple of times but the other one was having no extra guests so he finally gave up and went down below to eat the fallen bits!

When wandering around along the ravine path I have been showing you lately I spotted this home which has a huge deck built out over the edge of the ravine. On closer inspection I discovered stone steps which led up to this place but which were all covered in leaves. This I'm sure was private property at the top so I didn't head up.
The City Daily Photo Blog community's theme for December is Transitions and that is definitely what is happening here at this time of year. I took this pic last week after we had our first dusting of snow while there were still flowers around in the gardens. Autumn is transitioning to winter!
