A Place For Fun

The Hillcrest Community Centre was built in 1905 and now has heritage protection. It is attached to Hillcrest Public School and provides activities and programs for residents of all ages. It has been lovingly taken care of through the years as you can see.

Sign Of Spring

 I spotted my first Daffodils of the spring last week. They were growing at the base of a south-facing hill so were in a bit of a warm microclimate. It was wonderful to see them.

Imagine

 This mural is found on the side of a large grocery store on Bloor St W in Koreatown. I could find no artist credit on it and the only lettering was "Imagine your Korea". We would all love to be able to travel but only in our imaginations for the next while!

Grand Renovation

Under that tarp is a grand old mansion in the Wychwood Park neighbourhood which sold for several million dollars a short while ago. The new owners must be doing a complete renovation and update so it will be interesting to see after the tarps come off. Apparently it is to remain a single family dwelling of over 12,000 sq ft!

Energetic Little Duck

I went by James Gardens to look at the ducks and most of them were sleeping or just taking it easy. They are usually all Mallards but this day there were two smaller bundles of a activity racing around the pond disrupting the naps. There were two Green-Winged Teal Ducks having a great time. You can see in this pic how small they are compared to the Mallards.

It's Gone!

 There was a fairly large house on this lot that is right beside a small parkette with a playground. The house sold a while ago and no one had moved in. About 2 weeks after my last walk past here I came along again to see the house gone and the lot flattened. It looks as if the city bought the house and the park is due to expand. Probably a good thing for the kids in the neighbourhood!

Theme Day: April Fool

The April theme for the City Daily Photo Blog Community is April Fool. What could be a worse April Fool trick than waking up to a world of snow just when you were hoping that spring has come. This is an archive pic!
