Morning Glory

 

I love Morning Glories so was pleased to come upon this beautifully painted utility box. Even with all the shadows from trees it was a stand out. The artist for this one is K Roberts.

Pink Beauty

 

This is another small Magnolia tree in the neighbourhood but this one has large blossoms. The tree is a lovely shape.

Resting Up

 

After a busy morning foraging for food this black squirrel took some time for a little nap in the warm sun. Probably thinking about what mischief it could get into later.

Deco Details

 

This is one of the garage entrances to yesterday's apartment building. There are actually 3 buildings side by side with all the same wonderful deco facades making up a wonderful complex. I wonder what the interiors are like.

Deco Charm

 

This is the entrance to yet another of the older apartment buildings that are on Avenue Rd south of St Clair W. This one was built in 1931 and features wonderful Art Deco details more of which I will show you tomorrow. This building also has heritage protection.

Heritage Signs

 

Heritage Toronto puts up signs in this style at various interesting or significant locations around the city. They used to be cast in metal but were often stolen by thieves who sold them for scrap so now they are using glass which actually works well with a solid base behind it. This sign tells the story of Davenport Rd and how it was an old trail used by indigenous populations for thousands of years. Its original name seen on the sign has now been added to the street signs too.

Apple Blossoms

 

This large apple tree is in the back garden of a home visible from our roof deck. It has been putting on a grand display that has lasted a while because of the cool and rainy weather we have been having.
