These female Mallards were having a pleasant float along the Humber River looking as if they had not a care in the world. They were not even bobbing for food!

While I was walking along the trail in yesterday's post I spotted these trees that had put out an extensive root system to keep themselves stable on the side of the ravine. Pretty impressive.
This is the trail that runs through the ravine near Casa Loma and goes past the dog park which I showed yesterday. It is hard to believe that you are in the middle of the city when you walk (or run) along here.
I spotted these signs with Max the Airedale Terrier at a newly installed dog park in the ravine near Casa Loma. The city has installed similar signs at most of the dog parks and I have seen large posters on bus shelters too as an attempt is made to get people to stoop & scoop and to keep their dogs on a leash unless they are in an off leash area. I'm not sure how successful they will be.

This pic was taken through the fence on Davenport Rd looking down into the Hillcrest Complex of our TTC (Toronto Transit Commission). This is the transit commission's largest facility and it is where the maintenance of most of its surface vehicles takes place. Here we are looking into the addition that was added to one of the shop buildings to accommodate the longer streetcars. You can see the pits that run under where the cars stop so that workers can get in to the bottom of them to do their work. It was break time for one guy!
One block over from last week's Blue mural is this one which pays tribute to the Annex neighbourhood. Both of these murals are found in new small parkettes which the city had installed last summer. This one shows samples of typical Annex scenes and even includes the totem pole which is found on Spadina Ave. The artist for this one is Planta Muisca whose work can be found all over the city.

This is a tunnel leading from a laneway into a hotel along Bloor St W and a week ago when I walked by this piano looked as if it was a fixture there. I wonder if anyone ever plays it?
