Heart

 This sweet mosaic mural was found in the same small area as yesterday's sundial. I failed to get the name of the artist for this one but it has a real First Nation feel to it. I'll have to go back one day to check out whether there is any signage. I love the image in the mural - it seems rather comforting.

Where's The Sun?

 I spotted this sculptural sundial while wandering around downtown near University Ave. It's a nice one but unfortunately it is now almost surrounded by condo towers so the sun doesn't really shine on it. It looks good though.

Putting On Weight Before Winter

It has been fun watching the antics of the squirrels as they feed on the keys found on the Manitoba Maple trees just off my deck. They seem to spend most of the day out there. Usually there are 2 black squirrels and 1 grey one and they each grab their own area for snacking. All 3 of them are juveniles so their fur is in great shape and the black ones are very black as you can see in this shot.

In Memory

Today is Remembrance Day in Canada when we pay tribute to all those who have given up their lives for us all. This wonderful cross memorial is found in the veterans area of Prospect Cemetery. The inscription is quite worn but it reads " To the Memory of those who in the Great War Died for King & Country 1914-1919". The surrounding area has hundreds of graves of men who died too young in battle. Lest we forget.

Golden Trees

While walking through the U of Toronto campus I looked down a driveway and got this great view of Koffler House framed by golden trees. Koffler House is a multi-faith centre at the university.

Touring Around Town

 It was a bit cool out the day I spotted this sightseeing bus but everyone still had chosen to sit up top out in the fresh air. I have taken this type of tour in a few cities and it has always proven to be worthwhile.

Dream Chamber

 There are a lot of Sorel Etrog sculptures around the city but it has been a while since I have shown one. This one, called Dream Chamber, was spotted along University Ave by the Mount Sinai Hospital. It was done in 1976 and is on loan to the hospital. To me it resembles a head which would indeed be a dream chamber. Click the label below to see some more of Etrog's work I have posted.
