When I first saw this unusual bird feeder at the Veterans Centre I thought it was impossible for any birds to get peanuts but it turns out that the ones with long thin beaks like the Red-breasted Nuthatch have no trouble at all. They poke through the openings and get the peanuts out of the shells while the resident squirrels find it impossible to get anything.

I spotted this moose family walking through a parkette along Yorkville Ave. I'm sure they look quite different when lit up at night but I like the daylight pic too.
It looks as if another condo tower is on its way to the Yorkville neighbourhood. The lovely old buildings in the forefront are due to be torn down soon and construction will soon begin. Yorkville was the centre of the hippie lifestyle in Toronto in the 1960s but it would be hard to tell that now with all of the gentrification that has taken place.
It is hard to believe but this is the 10th anniversary of Occasional Toronto! I've loved every day of it and love the meeting of minds with all of my blog friends around the world. So for the day I present this sculpture by Australian artists Gillie & Marc Schattner which I found on a day after a snow fall in the Yorkville neighbourhood. We can all join the couple in a nice cup of coffee or tea!
When I was visiting the Bloor Yorkville Ice Fest I spotted this fellow off in the park removed from everyone enjoying his cigarette. Even when some kids ran past him there was no reaction. I love the feeling of mystery about him.
This mural that was found along Queen St W was probably painted last year after our Toronto Raptors basketball team won the NBA championship. Kawhi Leonard was the star of the team and a real hero to fans. It looks as if some work has been done to the building which has blocked part of the mural but hopefully it will be restored when the weather improves in the summer.

The March theme for the City Daily Photo Blog community is "Municipal Building" and the obvious choice for mine is our City Hall. I have had lots of posts from there but it looks best in the summer so I am using a pic from my archives. There are always lots of cameras around the City Hall and you can see a photographer in a red shirt set up with a tripod.
