A Surprise In The Laneway

While wandering along in a laneway I spotted these lovely little fairies frolicking on a door leading to a laneway house. They were so cute that I had to stop and get a shot. I think they count as a mural.

A Gift

A friend gave me an envelope of wildflower seeds which she collected last year near their cottage. I planted them out on the deck and have had a wonderful assortment of pretty flowers popping open. These small flowers are my favourites so far but there are still more buds to open. I think these may be Arnica flowers but if anyone knows better please let me know.

A Fleeting Glimpse

I was at James Gardens and could hear Red Winged Blackbirds flitting around in the trees but couldn't get a good look at them until this guy settled near me for a few seconds. His feathers look to be in prime condition at this time of year.

The Path

After crossing the bridge in yesterday's post you find yourself in a totally natural environment in contrast to the grassy park on the other side. This is what this whole area around Black Creek was like when I was a kid and there were no busy roads and no bridge over the creek. It was an area where we all went looking for turtles and frogs and other neat things. Times change. 

Bridge Over Back Creek

 The same day as I took the shot in yesterday's post I stopped at the park by Black Creek which I showed you a few weeks ago. It is such a refreshing spot on a muggy day like we get here. The shadows from the trees make it feel so cool. This time I crossed the bridge which you can see in the middle of the shot. I'll show you the other side tomorrow.

Love Your Park

I spotted this sign in a bus shelter and loved the message. We must treat our parks with care since they offer us so much. The park in the pic is down by Lake Ontario.

Pool Anyone?

I spotted this bike stand near a pool hall in the Liberty Village neighbourhood and thought it was wonderful so here it is.
