Water

 

I have a large container for a bird bath on the roof deck. The bigger birds like the Robins love it but the smaller Sparrows love this small metal saucer-like container. I have been filling it a couple of times during the day while we have been having hot weather. Sometimes there have been as many as 5 of them around the edge at a time. In this catch just 2 with one perched on the wing of one of the metal decorative birds. At the right you can see another bird on the edge of a planter waiting for a chance to get in.

Fly Away

 

I recently saw this large painting by Canadian artist Andrew King. I love his work and this one is quite large - about 7 ft by 3 ft - so there is lots to admire. I have forgotten the title.

Hello!

 

I was walking along a street when I noticed this mask attached to a telephone pole. It was a nice addition. The house behind it had a few odd things scattered in its front garden so I wonder if they added the mask.

Pollinate TO

 

Pollinate TO (aka Toronto) refers to community led projects that are helping the pollinators by installing gardens around the city on boulevards and other underused spaces. They receive small grants from the city to help with getting the plants etc. The one in this pic is located in a small patch of land at the entrance to a parking lot.

Rose Of Sharon

 

Rose of Sharon bushes are flowering all over the city. There are several colours but I think that the white ones are my favourite.

Colours

 

I'm not sure what the theme of this mural is but the colours all seem to be so relaxing. There was no artist info for this one.

An Unusual Sight

 

This lovely steeple found on an old church has an unusual neighbour which must be some kind of chimney. It certainly ruins this view of the steeple.
