Mural On A Vehicle

 

When I went to see Cirque Du Soleil a couple of weeks ago Nissan was one of the sponsors and they had this vehicle on display. They were projecting images related to the Mexican theme of the show on to it. I think this counts as a mural.

House On A Corner

 

Even on a hot day this house on a leafy corner in the Annex neighbourhood looks cool. That balcony would be a fine place to sit out and read.

Siblings

 

I have been having lots of Black Swallowtail Butterfly caterpillars on my dill plants but then they seem to disappear and I have seen no butterflies yet. Sometimes they can be there and an hour later they are gone. A mystery.

Satellites?

 

I was walking along and happened upon a shrub covered in these wonderful orbs that looked like little satellites. Each was made up of hundreds of small flowers to form the balls. I looked it up on-line  and the bush is called a Buttonbush. There lots of honey bees buzzing around the bush. It was a wonderful sight.  

Balconies

 

I always love seeing this small apartment building in the Annex neighbourhood especially in summer when the flowers are out. Usually there are more hanging baskets on the balconies but it still looks wonderful. They have planted trees out the front so I have tried to get this shot from the side.

Two Cafes

 These are two neighbouring cafes that have patios running down the side of a building on Bloor St in the Annex neighbourhood. It was early morning so nobody sitting out yet. That front cafe with the dark wall looks to have lots of lights strung about and brollies to block the sun. I haven't tried either of these places yet.

Beauty

 

The flowers of summer are so wonderful to see and these Rose of Sharon blooms were no disappointment.  My grandmother had a huge patch of these in her garden so they remind me of her.
