I caught this tennis class just starting at the club at St Clair & Spadina Rd last week. They were doing warm-up exercises before the real work began - summer has definitely arrived here!
It isn't officially summer here yet but it feels like it so I thought I would go by and check out the canoe sculpture that I showed you in April when this fountain was empty (click here to see it). What a difference water and leaves on the trees makes to our world!
I was out with the camera, looking for shots for the blog when this women went whizzing past me and disappeared into the distance. Her pace was pretty impressive!
There is no missing this vet's office on Bloor St W. The wall used to be a constant target for taggers but this sign has helped to solve that a lot although you can see that it has had to be touched up a bit .

Toronto is criss-crossed by an extensive network of deep ravines that have been carved out over the centuries by the 3 rivers and the numerous creeks & streams that run through the city. They have almost all been left in a natural state as a protection against flooding and so you are never very far from a path such as this one leading down from a busy downtown street into wilderness. They are well used by walkers, runners, and especially people walking their dogs!
I found this mural on the side of the service building in a local park looking out over the children's playground. The mural was donated to the city by artists in residence from the Tumivut Youth Shelter, a shelter for homeless Aboriginal youth, that is nearby. I'm sure the playing children must enjoy the wonderful images in the mural.

The June theme for the City Daily Photo Blogs is Zest and there is nothing like a group of kids playing with a ball to give us a good demonstration of Zest and all its synonyms such as energy and enthusiasm. I captured these little guys after school one day in a park along a busy street downtown.
