Art In The Summer

 

It is the season for outdoor art shows in the city with one nearly every weekend. I went by this show last weekend before it was open when the artists were just finishing their set-up. Unfortunately mother nature was kind on Saturday but it poured buckets of rain on the Sunday.

The Guardian

 

I often walk by a construction supply yard when they are closed and this fine guy is their guardian. This pic was taken through the fence. He had been curled up having a rest but as soon as I stopped he had to get up to come and say hello. He seems quite friendly but I wouldn't put my hand through the fence.

Fiat Again

 

Yesterday I couldn't decide whether to show the front or back of the Fiat 500L so I am showing the back view today. I love the lines of the back view.

Green Beauty

 

I was in a parking lot and just walking over to take a pic of this car when the owner came out and started to jump in. I quickly ran over and asked if I could take some shots and he was pleased to step away. It is a 1971 Fiat 500L and in perfect condition. He only drives it for 6 months of the year. I'll show you a shot of the back tomorrow.

Big Tow

 

This has to be one of the largest tow trucks I have ever seen. Then I realized that it was hooking up to a large truck that had broken down in traffic. I didn't stay around to see how it ended.

Almost Missed

 

I almost missed getting some shots of beautiful Irises during their very short growing season. I loved the pale purple colour of these ones.

Guardians

 

These noble lions started me a bit as I walked along a laneway. I think they are vinyl prints rather than painted on the door. I'm sure they work well to protect the place. That signature may say Menz.
