Women On The Move

This four-sided art piece with a woman on each side has turned up in the front garden of an Annex neighbourhood home after being in the front garden of a home near the Yorkville neighbourhood for years.  I have always been intrigued by it and have wondered if it was a piece by Michael Snow from his Walking Woman series but there is no signature anywhere on it. I was startled to see it and had to stop for a pic of it in its new location.

Greeting The Birds

 This mural on a utility box was spotted in the Annex neighbourhood. The young guy looks so happy to be greeting the birds. The artist for this one is Melika Saeeda.

Carpet Of Leaves

This carpet of leaves was spotted beneath two Maple trees that had finished their show of colour for this year. So lovely.

Fierce Beast In The 'Hood

I saw a few of these fierce beasts wandering in the neighbourhood this week. They all seem to have moved away now so it is safe to go out on the streets again.

Fine Balconies

I thought I'd show one more shot of housing in the Annex neighbourhood. I've always loved the balconies on this small apartment building but have no idea what the interiors look like. It would certainly be a great place to sit and enjoy watching the world go by.

A Couple of Annex Homes

I thought I would show a couple of the old houses like those that were not visible in yesterday's shot. It is fun to walk through this neighbourhood and look for quirky balconies or turrets. That sign on the lawn is protesting a proposed highway for north of the city that will cut through farmland and green spaces.

November Theme: My Favourite Part Of Town

The November theme for the City Daily Photo Blog community is " My Favourite Part Of Town" and for this one it was hard to decide. There has been so much construction everywhere in Toronto that I find myself wandering the neighbourhoods rather than venturing out to real public spaces. One of my favourite neighbourhoods is the Annex with all its mature trees and interesting old homes so I have chosen this shot along one of the streets in the Annex. The trees block the houses in a long shot but as you walk along you can see lovely homes surrounded by much greenery.
