This was a really long mural that was found along Butterfly Lane in the summer and it seemed like a good time for some bright colour as we head into winter. The artist for this one is Anya Mielniczek and unfortunately I couldn't get back far enough to get a head-on pic.

This is the City of Toronto Archives building which is located just down the hill from Casa Loma on Spadina Rd (just in behind the trees I showed you on Sunday). It was built in 1992 and holds government & non government records as well as over 1 million pics of the city. The building has climate controlled records, an atrium & exhibit space, a theatre, and a research hall. You can look up info on every building in the city. That is the City of Toronto flag flying on the pole.
We have had a lot of rain lately and just after a recent shower I spotted this black squirrel having a snack up in a pine tree. You can see that the poor thing is a bit wet judging by all of the water droplets on its tail. He was keeping an eye on me but didn't stop eating!

I caught this Oak tree with lovely colours just before a big wind storm that we had last week. The wind really stripped a lot of leaves from our trees just when they were at the peak of their colour change.
Behind all of the decorations in this pic is a house that has every inch of its surface covered with little decorations of cut wood or stones. The man who lives here has been working on it for years and has even decorated his whole garage in the laneway. For various holidays such as Christmas, seasonal decorations are added to the display. There is also a fountain somewhere in there in the front garden. This is a semidetached house but I'm not sure what the attached neighbours think of it!
I thought Cam's Little Library was quite elegant with its wonderful doors and the nice addition of a small chalkboard down beneath it. I didn't pick up anything that day but will be back to check it out again.

The last couple of weeks have brought us some really beautiful autumn colours as the Maple trees finally started to turn. It feels like it has been late to happen this year. I spotted these two in the Casa Loma neighbourhood.
