I took this pic last week when the Clivia flowered for the second time since Christmas offering a bit of colour to help make up for all of the snow you can see on the deck out through the window. We are all waiting for spring and the end of this snowy winter!
The Black Swan Tavern has been a fixture on the Danforth since 1972 and continues to be a great neighbourhood pub as well as a venue for live music. It is impossible to get a pic without a car parked out front but it is their great sign I wanted to show. Black swans are a bit unusual in Canada so it is nice to see this one.

I spotted this tricycle a couple of weeks ago parked and locked near the Wychwood Barns where there is a farmers market on the weekend. The trike looks like it has been there a while and you wonder if someone forgot it or have no where to store it for the winter. I'll have to go back soon and check whether it is gone.
This colourful boat is just part of a very long mural painted by artist Christiano De Arauja along Rogers Rd in the north-west part of the city. The mural was painted in summer 2018 and especially during winter it is a cheerful sight to see along the roadway. I will show you some more sections over the next few weeks.

It is hard to believe that it has been 9 years since I started this blog and that I still love posting every day and looking for new things to show you. I'm so happy to have made so many blog friends and miss the ones who no longer post but who inspired me so much at the beginning. Thanks everyone!
A week ago I showed you St Paul's Church on Bloor St E which was surrounded by condos and office towers and just a few blocks away you will find this lovely church also with tall neighbours. It is the Church of St Peter and St Simon-the-Apostle which is an amalgamation of two parishes which took place in 2016. The church was built in 1887 as St Simon-the-Apostle and had a few additions through the years. It is likely that the bricks for the church came from the brickyards in the nearby Don Valley.
I took this pic in the middle of a mini blizzard that didn't last long and didn't stop the birds from having a bit to eat. The Chickadee and the Downy Woodpecker were already settled in when the Goldfinch decided to get in on the action so he is a bit out of focus since he was moving so fast. He eventually landed above the woodpecker and they all had their fill.

The march theme for the City Daily Photo Blog community is Green and since it is a bit difficult to find green here at this time of year I went back into my archives. Every summer at the Veterans Centre at the Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre they arrange a visit from a local car club and the cars are pulled into various locations around the gardens. This Jaguar E Type was a real crowd pleaser with the vets. I'm not a big green car fan but this one looks beautiful!
