Halloween Transportation

This carriage is definitely not suitable for Cinderella as it has always stayed a pumpkin even before midnight. This was spotted at a local garden centre. Happy Halloween everyone!

Black Cat

This has to be one of the best home-made Halloween settings that I have ever seen with the theme being 'an Egyptian tomb'. The tarps are meant to resemble pyramids while we look through and up the porch stairs to the interior of the tomb to see the mummy and the usual decorations. While I was getting ready to take this shot the resident black cat came out and sat itself down right in front of the mummy. Perfect!

It Has Been Rough Day!

This guy hiding out in the bushes has had a rough day and would like to not be disturbed. Too bad there are busy times ahead for him this weekend!

Waiting For The Big Night

Some people are ready and waiting for the big night to arrive. A bit of music always helps. It seems that a lot of people have constructed their own props for Halloween this year.

He Loves Me, He Loves Me ....!

Scattered among the larger old buildings in the Liberty Village neighbourhood you can often find quirky little structures like this one. It is actually attached to a much larger place behind it and they are both in danger of being replaced by condos. I love the whimsy of this one in particular the cute signs on the stairs. This view has been used in several movie scenes.

Times Change

I showed you a mural yesterday from the Liberty Village neighbourhood and today show one of the typical industrial buildings that once occupied the whole area. When industry left for overseas these buildings became studios and lofts for artists but as is usually the case gentrification has taken place and most of the artists have moved on to other spaces. Now these buildings are divided up into offices and design studios although this one has a climbing club on the main floor. Many of the really large factories have been torn down and the usual condo towers have replaced them. There are a lot of trendy restaurants in the area now too. The studio I had for 10 years is now a restaurant.

A Cuppa And A Cat

What a relaxing idea to sit and have a cup of something warm in the company of a nice cat. This mural was spotted in the Liberty Village neighbourhood. There was no artist info but I might guess that it was done by Jarus the same artist who did last week's Baltimore Oriole mural.
