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.

Flowery Garage

 

This vibrant mural was a bright spot on one of the dull spring days that we have been having. It would be nice to see it on any garage.

Lovely Yellow

 

Spring is upon us and I saw my first flowering Forsythia this week. It was glowing in the rare sunshine so  I had to cross the road and get a pic. 

The Walker

 

On a sunny afternoon last week I spotted this ladybug walking all around on the roof flashing by our deck. The dark metal must have felt nice and warm after all the cool weather we have been having. This is my first ladybug of the season and I take it as a sign that spring is here.

A Smokehouse

 

I happened to go by a smokehouse that had opened not too long ago and got a whiff of the smoke as the meat all soaked it up in an outdoor enclosure. It is only open a few days of the week and opens at noon and closes when the meat runs out. These smokers must hold a lot of meat.
