Peony Ladies

It seems to be a fabulous year for peonies - maybe because the winter was so mild this year. As I walk the neighbourhood, they remind me of ladies in gorgeous, frilly evening gowns.

Grand Portico

This is the portico at 35 Walmer Rd. It is a fabulous feature with its round openings which allow the sunlight to come through and form circles of light that are mimicked by the circles of concrete imbedded in the walkway. I plan to go back on June 21 when the sun is at its highest peak and see if they line up!

35 Walmer Rd Apartments

"The Vincennes" at 35 Walmer Rd was designed by Estonian-born Canadian architect Uno Prii and was built in 1965. Prii designed approximately 250 apartment buildings each of which is unique and shows his trademark futuristic take on Modernism. Some of the best known are in the Annex area of Toronto just north of U of Toronto.

Beauty at the Park

A local artist has added accessories to the benches at the park. Guerrilla art at its best, it humanizes the institutional city furniture and makes a comfortable setting for a beautiful dog!

Mellow Yellow Garden

This garden was a welcome sight on a stressful day. Typical of the Seaton Village area of Toronto, the front yard is all garden.

Park Sky

Blank Slate

Three buildings knocked down and carted away in 5 days. Amazing. Construction to begin soon.
