Waiting For The Mailman

I seem to be finding strange creatures lately. This dog with mailbox was spotted on the front garden of a large home near Casa Loma. It is great fun don't you think?

Butterfly Lady

This one is from my archives. Found on a garage in a laneway off Harbord St, this lovely lady and the butterflies were painted by MCK Studios aka Meaghan Claire Kehoe. I like it.

Urban Wilderness

When wandering along the ravines along the Humber River you can venture off the main paths into areas that allow you to feel that you are far from civilization even though you are in the middle of the city. This little stream passes through one of those areas. Those pieces of logs and sticks used to form a make shift bridge but it looks like the elements have had their way with it.

Big Duck

Imagine my surprise to turn a corner and come upon this cute trailer attached to the back of a pickup truck. Of course I had to stop for a few pics!

Orange

There was something cool about this bike with its orange accents. It is one of the stripped down bikes with a single gear, one brake and that's about it. It does have a bell though. I like it.

An Annex Mansion

There are many of these large old homes in the Annex neighbourhood. Originally built in 1893 as a single family home this one now houses the Hong Kong Economic & Trade Office. Many of these homes have been taken over by U of T for various offices and others have been divided into flats. This one has heritage designation and so the exterior is well protected.

September Theme: Right Under Your Nose

The September theme for the City Daily Photo Blog community is "Right Under Your Nose". I had decided a couple of weeks ago to take a pic of my Rosemary plant which is the most fragrant of the herbs that I have. Even in winter when it comes inside it puts out a lovely aroma. Suddenly over the last week the Morning Glory has decided it likes the fragrance too and has been blooming all around the Rosemary more than anywhere else.
