The Little Scamps At Play

I'm always pleased to come upon one of the murals by Emily May Rose featuring her raccoons up to some antics. This one was in a laneway just off Bloor St.

Bridge At James Gardens

 On one of the hot & muggy days a couple of weeks ago it seemed like a good idea to visit James Gardens and say hello to the ducks. It was surprising to find the pond empty of ducks & Canada Geese but it was still a bit cooler in the shade of the trees and the bridge is always a nice sight.

Cooling Off

It was a hot & humid afternoon when I spotted these pigeons cooling off in the small puddles in a parking lot. Lucky for them that we have been having a lot of scattered rain showers so there often puddles around.

Retro Interior

This is the interior of yesterday's '55 BelAir. They sure don't make them like this anymore. Look at that great steering wheel. I was surprised to see that the car had an automatic transmission which was a bit of a disappointment.

Red Beauty

I was pulling into the laneway and spotted this beauty down at the mechanic's shop at the other end. So of course I headed down with my camera. It is a '55 Chevrolet BelAir  with the most wonderful paint job. This car goes out only on nice days and never on a highway. I will show you the interior tomorrow which was just as spectacular.

Neighbourhood Scenes

An artist in the Seaton Village neighbourhood has installed a lightbox in her front garden where she installs dioramas that deal with thought-provoking themes such as climate change, food insecurity, etc. She hopes this starts discussions between parents and children. The artist is Martha Davis.

August Theme: Garden

The August theme for the City Daily Photo Blog community is Garden and for this one I offer a shot of part of my roof garden. It faces south so gets lots of heat and sunshine. I grow some flowers but mostly herbs and veggies like tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, snow peas, etc. It has been a good summer for the crops so far and I am just waiting for the large tomatoes to start ripening. Mostly it is a place to relax.
