The Dog Bowl

This shop on Dundas St W caters to dogs offering them all kinds of cool toys and accessories. It is conveniently located right by Trinity Bellwoods Park which has a large dog park area. I love the vintage glass on the storefront.

There Had Been Snow

We have had little snow this winter so far and it has been warmer than usual. I took this shot just over a week ago showing one of the Dundas St entrances to Trinity Bellwoods Park. It is a large park right downtown and runs from Queen St W up to Dundas. It is well used all year but particularly in the summer when all the people who live in condos gather here. 

Happy Valentine's Day to everyone.

Gates

 These are the gates to Trinity Bellwoods Park along Queen St W. It is a great park with lots of space for people and is very well used all year long. There are many condos nearby so it becomes a backyard for those living in them.

Candy Jar

I'm interrupting the Santa Claus Parade pics to take part in Monday Murals showing another mural from the Trinity Bellwoods neighbourhood. This painted utility box sports a nice big jar of candies and if you look closely towards the bottom you will find a couple of the famous Trinity Bellwoods white squirrels. The artist for this one is Rosalie Lam.

Lovely Semis

I'm still in the Trinity Bellwoods neighbourhood to show these classy looking semi-detached homes. The black trim looks so good against the bricks and the whole look of an Ontario Gothic Revival cottage is wonderful. And to top it off these homes back onto the park itself!

White Squirrel

Yesterday I showed a wonderful house from the Trinity Bellwoods neighbourhood, an area that surrounds Trinity Bellwoods Park on the north side of Queen St W. The park is extremely popular and has ball diamonds, tennis courts, a dog off-leash area, etc but one its most famous attributes is the colony of white squirrels that live there. You can occasionally spot them in the area outside the park but the park is home base. I spotted this mural on the back of a bakery which is beside the park and while I was taking it a black squirrel ran by me with a pink macaron in its mouth - too fast to catch a pic!

Another Victorian Beauty

Last weekend I was wandering around by Trinity Bellwoods Park on Queen St W admiring all of the lovely Victorian homes. This beauty was built in the 1890s and looks like it has been lovingly restored. I always love a nice balcony looking out onto the street like these ones. The estimated value of this house is over $4.5 million so I won't be sitting on those balconies soon!
