Bath Time

I have this small shallow metal bird bath on the roof deck that the honey bees like to use to get good drinks of water as they sit along the edges. For the last few weeks the house sparrows have been going wild taking baths and totally emptying it even though I fill it up several times a day. Sometimes there can be as many as 4 birds sitting along the edges waiting for a turn.

Porch Fountain

 

I happened to notice this fountain on a large front porch of a house in the Annex neighbourhood. I couldn't see it very well through all the plants but I zoomed in and was quite pleased to see how lovely it is. There must be a nice sound of the small trickle of water.

Pink In Autumn

I was surprised to see this large group  of lovely pink flowers a week ago. They all looked so fresh and lively at a time of year when most flowers are fading. I have no idea what they are. They were blowing around a lot in the wind so are a bit out of focus.
 

Along Bloor St

 

There always seems to be some action along Bloor St in Koreatown even before many of the restaurants and stores open. It looks like the local laundromat is getting a front face lift. I was surprised to see that it was still there considering the high rents on a main street.

More Laneway Houses

 

Yet more laneway houses that I recently spotted. They seem to be popping up all over the older parts of the city which have laneways. I much prefer the one on the right with the wood facade. The one on the left disappears behind that large shrub.

Hidden Dogs

 

At a first glance this looks like a totally abstract mural but then you notice the little dog down in the bottom left. Looking around you can see a little pink dog just right of the middle. The only artist info is WF25.

A Nice Welcome

 

There is something about this house that feels quite welcoming to me. And of course I like the nice balcony upstairs.
