More Balconies

 

This condo building on Dupont St has been under construction for a few years but it looks like some people have moved in and there are flowers on a couple of the balconies. It is the curvy balconies that give this building some style.

Theme Day: Purple

 

The August theme for the City Daily Photo Blog community is purple and for this theme I offer this rare purple speckled fish which I made in earthenware about 20 years ago. There aren't very many of them around. This is also my entry for the Saturday's Critters meme.

Another Balcony

On these hot days in summer a nice balcony is so nice to see and I seem to have been coming upon many this season. This one had a lot of nice shade and space for friends to sit out and relax.
 

Funky Mushrooms

 

These funky mushrooms were spotted by a large tree in the front garden of a home. I loved them so had to stop for a shot. The big one is over a foot tall.

Exercise

 

I have often wondered if anyone used these exercise stations found in some parks. Well I have actually seen several people using the ones in this local park so they do work to get people moving after all.

Flowers

It seems to have been a good year for Impatiens this year after several years when it wasn't available because of a disease that was killing the plants. You couldn't even buy plants for a couple of years. It is good to see the plants back and flourishing. 
 

Summer Fruit

 

The locally grown fruit that we get to enjoy in summer is wonderfully sweet and tasty. I thought this strawberry mural spotted in a laneway was perfect for the season despite all the heavy shadows on it.
