It's Coming

 

I was surprised when I spotted this front garden all decorated for Halloween when I went by a week ago. It seems early but the stores are full of decorations so I guess the spooky season has begun.

Changing Colour

 

I spotted this lovely tree this week. It seems that the trees which turn to yellow tones are changing first this year although I have seen a few scattered branches of red leaves.

Corner Store

This place on Bloor St is one of my favourite corner stores. It is a great place for buying plants in spring and fruits & veggies the rest of the year.

Beauty

 

A friend gifted us with these beautiful flowers. Dahlias are so wonderful.

Cats

 

This Little Library is well decorated with cats on 3 sides and even their eyes around the door. Unfortunate for me but there were no books inside that caught my fancy.

Not Extinct

 

There are actually still pay phones around although I don't know if you can pay with coins. I didn't look carefully. This one was down on the platform of one of our subway stations.

Bath Time

I have this small shallow metal bird bath on the roof deck that the honey bees like to use to get good drinks of water as they sit along the edges. For the last few weeks the house sparrows have been going wild taking baths and totally emptying it even though I fill it up several times a day. Sometimes there can be as many as 4 birds sitting along the edges waiting for a turn.
