Like A Mirror

 

Earlier this summer this pond in Wychwood Park was covered in duckweed but as the weeds die back the reflections have appeared. As you can tell the pond is totally surrounded by trees.

A Dress for Spring

 

This dress was spotted in the window of a dress designer along Bathurst St and it looked so happy and springlike that I had to take a shot. It is quite a contrast to the snowy reflection.

Eleven

 

This is a recently opened bicycle shop which seems to be called 11 with the number appearing on a gear with 11 teeth. I'm not sure if there is significance to the number but I do like their sign. And the window gives a great reflection.

The Masked Woman

 

I  spotted this masked woman and friend in a shop window and liked the effect with the reflection of the sky above her. The shop is being renovated and I think a gallery may be moving in. I have no artist info.

Reflection

I loved the reflection of the street traffic on the window of an interiors shop along Davenport Rd.
 

Reflecting On Hats

 

I loved the reflections on the window of Lilliput Hats and the nice display of summer hats for women. They also have a large assortment of hats for men.

Reflection

 It is always fun to check out the reflections in the triangular windows of the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) when walking along Bloor St. This addition to the museum was designed by Daniel Libeskind and is due to have a few changes made to parts of it but I hope the windows remain intact.

Reflection

I liked this reflection of some of the storefronts along Bathurst St and was lucky to be there when there were few cars parked.  All the stores in this area have apartments upstairs which makes for a nice neighbourhood with lots of activity.

March Theme: Reflections in Windows

The March theme for the City Daily Photo Blog community is Reflections In Windows and I chose this one of reflections from the window of a dress designer on Bathurst St. This section of the street has shops on one side while the other side is residential giving us a shot with a spring-like dress in the window while across the road you can see some snow remaining in the small front gardens. I always like to check out the dresses in this window when I go by.

Coat Of Many Scenes

This coat was spotted in a store window over the holidays and I loved it. If it was mine I would be wearing it tonight to bring in the new year and hopefully some new adventures.  Loved the reflections of the houses across the street too.

Mirror, Mirror

I was trying to take a shot of the spring hats in a milliner's shop window but was getting a lot of reflections. And then I noticed that the mirror in the display was cancelling out the window's effect and instead showed a clear shot of what was behind me. A mystery.

Layers

I was trying to take a shot of an antique carriage in a shop window but tried several different angles to avoid reflection and nothing worked. I really liked the layers that appeared in this shot with the reflection of the church building across the road.

Royal Reflections

I was trying to take a shot of the hat shop window done up for the Royal Jubilee but there was so much reflection that it was hard to make out the hats. And then one of our red buses with white stripe accents went by and added some pizazz so here it is.

Reflection Fun

I was having fun playing with the reflections in the double glazed patio doors. I like how everything looks a bit shaky! Trying to stay safe and islolated but going a bit stir crazy.

A Promise Of Spring

This local florist has forced some Forsythia and together with some pretty orchids a very spring-like window resulted. I can hardly wait.

Posh Triangle

I took this pic a while ago and never used it although I really like it and especially the way the reflections of the buildings across the road have managed to cut off part of the display of this high end store along Bloor St. And there is a bit of a selfie there!  
Have a safe and fun New Year's Eve!

More Flowers

I thought I would show you a couple more of the Provincial floral emblems formed from sneakers in the window of the Bata Shoe Museum. On the left is the Trillium which is our emblem of Ontario and to the right is the Blue Flag Iris of Quebec. I liked the reflection of the buildings along Bloor St in this one.

June Theme Day: "Me"

The theme day for June for the City Daily Photo Blog community is "Me" and I'm sure there will be a lot of reflection pics on display. I like to play Hide & Seek so my pic is a reflection from a distance taken just after I had finished doing repeats up and down the stairs at Casa Loma. The windows at George Brown College provided a good mirror.

Reflections On A Barbershop

This is another warmer weather pic taken along Dundas St W. When trying to get a pic of the barber pole in this window I realized what a great reflection there was of St Helen Church across the road.

Forest In The City

This pic was taken a couple of weeks ago showing the pond in the middle of the Wychwood neighbourhood. As you can see the trees hadn't changed colour at all then and the leaves were still blocking our view of the houses around the pond. It is hard to believe this is in the city!
