I took this shot a couple of weeks ago after a snow storm and really liked the puffy clouds behind Casa Loma. The snow is all gone now!
I discovered this guy in a corner along a west-end laneway. He's a bit weather beaten but his charm still comes through don't you think?

This is the back of the George H Locke Memorial Branch of the Toronto Public Library located at Yonge St & Lawrence Ave. I will have to get a pic of the front one day when traffic is sparse but this back part is actually nicer with the big windows and the curved wall. George Locke was the chief librarian for the city from 1908 to 1937 and when this was built after the war in 1949 the decision was made to name it after him.
This little House Finch was a first for me as he sat eating along with a sweet Chickadee on one of the feeders at the Vet's Centre at the Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre. House Finchs were introduced to eastern North America in the 1940s around New York City and have now spread with the first ones appearing in Ontario around 1978. They are now quite common here. Cute isn't he?

I'm not sure if it is just me but I would want to match those shutters more to the colour of the doors. This is another of the row of dwellings along Lawrence Ave in the Lawrence Park neighbourhood like the one I showed you yesterday. Not sure what you would call this style.
I showed you a building similar to this in January (HERE) and mentioned that there was a row of these buildings of a same scale but each a different design. Well I went back and took pics of them all and will show you a couple today & tomorrow and the others later. This one has a bit of a Tudor style to it which is suitable to this Lawrence Park neighbourhood. More green doors tomorrow.
This is one of the buses belonging to the Veteran's Centre at the Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre and it is used to transport the vets around town to various events and sights. Most of the vets in the centre are from WWII so the average age is around 93 years old and since many of them use wheelchairs to get around this bus is equipped with special equipment for loading them.
