Bird In The Snow

I was walking along the street and happened to notice a bird along the wall along a laneway so of course headed down to check it out. The bird poking out of the snow turned out to be a beauty painted by the artist Alfalfa. I love it.

Details

 

When walking through the Annex neighbourhood it was the little 'hats' on the roof pillars that caught my eye on this pair of semi-detached homes. Then I noticed how the home on the right had painted the details below the eaves to highlight them while the house on the left had just painted them over with the grey paint. I still like the pair even with the differences.

Autumn Flashback

 

I have seen few creatures this winter so it is back into my archives for this one. This is the unusual Eastern Grey Squirrel that I had spotted in the autumn when wandering around at U of Toronto. It was a lovely genetic mutation and a first for me.

Welcome In

 

This house in the Annex neighbourhood looked very welcoming to me. I'm not sure if it is the wonderful porch & balcony or the winding walkway leading to the door. I'll try to go back in the summer to see how it looks with the garden showing rather than snow.

More Icicles

 

I have become totally fascinated with all of the huge icicles there are around this year. This house had a particularly large group of them. I don't remember a winter like this one. 

Fun Vintage

 

It is such fun to poke about in a vintage shop and see all the things that you remember from your childhood. This place is a good one for that.

A Popular Bench

 

This bench in a local park is usually a popular place to sit but it has been unavailable for much of this winter. We are all looking forward to spring by this time of year.

I may not be commenting much for the next week so stay warm. Posts will be up though.
