After some snow storms you really have to keep an eye open on what is above your head. If the snow falls and there is little wind it will gather like this on evergreen trees and create big snowballs that later fall and soak you as you walk along. Pretty though!
Toronto's Greek Town is found on the Danforth as this banner tells you. Even the lampposts have Greek stripes on them along this stretch of Danforth Ave. In the summer there is a huge festival where the street is closed and millions of people come out to eat and enjoy entertainment.

This building on Bloor St E was constructed in 1954 for the Chartered Professional Accountants of Ontario. I really tried to find out some info about the architecture but had no luck so can't tell you what goes on under that domed roof. Perhaps it is their library. This was taken just after another of our snowstorms so you can see all of the wet marks along the facade - winter is hard on us all!
This is another section of the colourful mural by Christiano De Araujo which I showed you last Monday. How nice to be greeted by happy smiles as you go by this one. Those shadows from a neighbouring tree are always there.

This hallway leads to the dental clinic at the Veterans Centre at the Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre. I've always liked the whimsical way the lights were installed and finally caught the hallway empty of people.
This seems to have been a good year for nuthatches and in particular the White-breasted Nuthatch. They are sweet birds who crawl up and down the trunks of trees quickly, then fly in to a feeder for one seed and then back to the tree. There is almost constant movement!

This is another of the ravines that run throughout the city. It is located just up the street from Casa Loma and is called Nordheimer Ravine after a family that had a large estate bordering the ravine many years ago. Castle Frank Brook ran through here but was covered over in the 1970s as many of the smaller creeks and streams were. Now this is a great spot to walk a dog or just go for a walk.
