Busy Times

 

Spring is a busy time for beavers as they repair any winter damage to their lodges and start new construction so it was timely that I came upon this mural a couple of weeks ago. The artist for this one is Candypress.

You Never Know

 

You never know what can be at the end of a walkway like this. Well, this one leads to a building with a lot of studios. There are potters, painters, jewellers, and more, creating wonderful things. It is good such buildings are still around.

Hiding Treasures

Although most of our squirrels have black fur there are still many around with grey fur. When I first saw this one it was burying something so deep that his whole head disappeared into the hole. He then spent a lot of time filling in the hole and trying to make it look as if no earth had been disturbed. I wonder if he will remember where it was?

May Theme Day: Fruit

 

The May theme for the City Daily Photo Blog community is Fruit and since it is a bit early for our local fruit I chose this shot from the citrus aisle at a local grocery store. The bright orange seemed very spring-like to me.

Sea Of Blue

 

Every spring nature puts on a great show along this hill on Davenport Rd. The blue Scilla has spread into a beautiful sea. It is too bad that it doesn't last for long.

Buy Local

 

I spotted this mural in a local laneway and there were tarps down in front of it so I think there was still more details to be added but there was no one to ask. It still gets its message across very well. Honest Ed's was a famous discount store which anchored a whole neighbourhood which is now in the process of being redeveloped. We shall see how it turns out soon, hopefully.

Big House

 

It is still a good time to take shots of houses in the Annex neighbourhood before the leaves come out on the trees. This pic actually shows a pair of semi-detached homes which are each huge. It wouldn't be surprising to find out that they are each divided into expensive flats. The one on the left is great with the top floor balcony and the porch along  the side. I'd love to see the inside of this one.
