Black Beauty

 

I was walking past a shop that does hand wash car washes when I spotted this beauty parked out front so of course had to stop. It is an Austin-Healey 3000 Mk111 and was in perfect condition inside and out. They were only made from 1964 to 1967 and so are quite collectible. I loved it.

Books

 

There are still independent book stores around and this one on Bloor St W in Koreatown has been around for a long time. There are a few more within walking distance which is a good thing.

A Deco Delight

 

 I have always loved this Art Deco style apartment building on Eglinton Ave. Built in 1939, it looks like a place that Poirot would live in don't you think?

Scary Eyes

 

I spotted this slightly scary beast in a local laneway. There have been a lot of coyote sightings and encounters all over the city and I think this is what the creature is meant to be. I have been lucky not to see any of them. The artist info is ANART45M.

I Found Some

 

I finally found some crocuses last week. Our weather has been so up and down with lots of cold weather that the spring flowers have been hiding.

Catching Some Sun

 

I watched this squirrel for well over an hour and for a while thought that it was dead and had somehow caught its neck on something and was strangled. It was motionless and the tail was blowing in the breeze. I made some noise and there was no reaction but then a noisy garage door opened and the little creature finally moved to see what the noise was. It was a cool day but the sun was strong so I think it was doing a bit of sunbathing. After a while the squirrel stretched and left for home.

Happy

 

On yet another dreary day here it was nice to happen upon this smiling face in the playground of a school. Playgrounds are so colourful these days.
