More Murals Found

As I looked along the building in yesterday's post I discovered another small door as well as this large shipping door all beautifully decorated by the artist Elicser. It turns out that the doors all belong to Terra Nova which is a retirement home. The murals are all quite suitable for that don't you think. One more shot tomorrow.

Walking

I spotted this door with the mural of a man with a walker and immediately pulled over for a shot just when this young man walked by.  Perfect, I thought. I'll show you a bit more of where this mural was tomorrow. The artist for this is Elicser.

Art At The Voting Station

We had our provincial elections last Thursday and the voting stations were in a variety of auditoriums and assorted spaces. When I voted this wonderful art piece by a First Nation artist was adorning one of the walls along the hall leading to the voting area. I really like it and there was a signature on it but I could not make it out.

A Sneak Attack?

This Mallard was so busy grooming itself that it didn't notice the large turtle which was slowly moving towards it. A sneak attack? Or just heading for a nicer position? I didn't stay around to see the finale.

A Fine Old House

This Second Empire style home was built in 1879 and has been totally restored and retrofitted  to be very energy efficient. The whole place had been painted white but luckily the bricks have now been restored to their former glory. It is now owned by U of Toronto but I don't know what it is used for. There are many older homes surrounding the downtown campus that are owned by the university.

Hard To Miss

This brightly painted Chevy truck was spotted in a few places around the neighbourhood a week ago and then disappeared. I never did find out who it belongs to. I'm not sure what year it is but would guess sometime in the 50s.

June Theme: The Road

The June theme for the City Daily Photo Blog community is "The Road" and for this one I offer a shot of a laneway which is a road that runs between/behind roads. You all know how I love to wander along laneways and this one which runs down a fairly steep hill is always fascinating to me. You never know what you might discover among the collection of various garage styles and outbuildings. And it is always fun to take a peek at the back gardens of homes. All of those wires overhead are phone lines and internet provider lines.
