Annex Brick Homes

 

I went out in April to take  shots of houses in the Annex neighbourhood before the leaves came out on the trees and blocked the views. These 3 houses won't be blocked by that tree out front for a long time. I like how these houses, all built in the late 1900s, are all so different from each other even though all used the same red bricks so prevalent in the city.

Tribute To Librarians

 

The woman in the Seaton Village neighbourhood who has a small diorama in her front garden has a tribute to librarians on display now. They do help us to answer many of our questions and deserve the attention.

"Timber!"

 

It was just around noon on a sunny day about a week ago when this huge very old Silver Maple tree fell over right from its base. It tore out the electric wires to several houses but luckily no one was injured. You can see a car towards the right of centre. It was flattened. Spooky times for the people who live on this street. 

Hare

 

This fine rabbit was painted several years ago and I posted it at the time. It was good to see that it hasn't been tagged when I went by recently. He won't need the sweater for a few months now.

A Cascade Of Flowers

 

I spotted this wonderful Spirea bush in the front garden of a home. There was a breeze so the branches were putting on a show of moving cascades of flowers. Lovely.

Pals

 

I met a dog walker that I know while out for a walk. She had a full crew of dog buddies including this Border Collie who is quite shy. I wanted to get a shot of her but she refused to look up. Two of her friends were quite eager to have their pics taken.

A Church Interior

 

I happened to be going by Trinity-St. Paul's United Church on Bloor St W so wandered in for this shot of the interior. It felt so calm in there when coming in from the busy street.
