Elephant

 

It has been quite cold here so I was looking for indoor shots and found this cool steel elephant and its nice shadow.

The Tree

 

This is the elm tree, pictured in the sign showed yesterday, as it appeared about a week ago with no leaves. This really gives you an idea of the scale of this survivor. So many elms have been lost to the disease. On the left side of this pic is Christie Pits park so all of these homes look down onto the park.

The Elm Trees

 

The fellow who put up the sign I showed last week about Rose the wild turkey has also put a sign up by this large elm tree found across the road from Christie Pits park. Gone are the days when streets were lined with these gorgeous large trees. I will show you a pic tomorrow that I took recently of this tough survivor.

Warmer Days

 

It has been so cold that I felt the need to think about warmer days. This shot of the bee on a Marigold was taken back on a nice day last September. Spring will be welcomed here with wide arms.

Gathering

 

This mural was found on a garage just a bit down a laneway from a food co-op and it looks to me as all the people in the mural are gathering food. The artist for this one is Moe Pramanick. I quite like it.

Winter Sky

 

It was cold out on the roof deck but I couldn't resist getting a shot of this winter sky as the sun was setting.

Picnic In The Snow

 

This squirrel and a buddy were poking around in the snow and finding lots of treats to eat. The snow was gone by the next day.
