Hearts

 Spotted on the side of an interior designers place on Avenue Rd in the Yorkville neighbourhood. I love all the hearts. The artist for this one is Anthony Ricciardi.

Maples On A Hill

 

These 2 maple trees were putting on a good show at the top of a hill in a school yard. The colours of autumn are so beautiful especially when the sun shines.

Hermit Thrush

Up on the roof by my deck I have a very large saucer which I keep filled with water for the birds to bathe & drink. A week ago a pair of Hermit Thrushes appeared and they have been around ever since. I don't think they will be staying for the winter so I will enjoy them now.

Through The Arches

 

These two pairs of semi-detached homes were built in the Yorkville neighbourhhood in 1889 (the pair on the left are washed out by the sun a bit). The most striking feature of each pair is the deep round-arched entries they have. Perfect protection for winter or for rain in summer. Both pairs have been nicely restored.

Fresh Flowers

 

One of the best places in the city to buy fresh flowers is on Avenue Rd in the Yorkville neighbourhood where there are 4 shops selling flowers in one very short block. They all seem to specialize a bit and always have flowers out front along the sidewalk. It is a lovely place to wander even if you don't buy anything.

A New Place In Town

A longtime pub on Dupont St in the Annex neighbourhood has closed and the company that owned it has reopened the space as a pizza & pasta place. I haven't tried it yet but probably will. I'm betting the sign looks great at night.

Reflection

I loved the reflection of the street traffic on the window of an interiors shop along Davenport Rd.
