A Survivor

This garage looks quite old, probably older than the house that it belongs to as you can see in the background. I love the textures and the warmth of the rust.

Lucky Squirrel

Every once in a while the kind people at the Veterans Centre at the Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre put up this peanut feeder to give the squirrels a treat. This particular squirrel seems to be the matriarch of the group and she sat there eating away for a long time even though others came along and tried to get one. They had to wait until she finished and left before they could take turns getting a peanut. You can see that her coat is a bit ratty as it is time for the summer coats to start coming in even though it is still a bit cool here.

A Mystery

I spotted this logo above a door downtown in the entertainment district but could find no information about it at all. It looks like a bird to me and I wonder if it is the entrance to some kind of nightclub that doesn't need to have a sign - if you don't know about them then you aren't moving in the trendy circles. I do like the logo though.

"Enter If You Dare"

This is one of the dragons who were inhabiting Casa Loma and its grounds during the Imagine Dragons event. Most of them were inside the building but this one out by one of the gates was really popular with people taking pictures. I had to wait for him to be alone to get this one.

Imagine

Our March Break for the school kids was a couple of weeks ago and Casa Loma ran a special event called Imagine Dragons for the kids. There were dragon figures, circus acts, bouncy castles and lots of other things to enjoy. I happened to go past that week and the place was buzzing with families going in and out. This sign was on the lower entrance into the gardens which isn't used in winter.

A Vintage Doorway

I spotted this lovely doorway along Adelaide St in the historic downtown area of the city. It is hard to read but in the stonework above the door it reads Commodore Building. The Commodore was built in 1929 as a commercial warehouse but now is divided up into offices serving those in the creative fields such as architecture and advertising. I love the nice Deco carvings in the stonework.

Metallic Bunny

If you look carefully you can see one of the artist Poser's bunnies on the right side of this garage door. The other metallic streaks are spelling out the name Poser. The whole thing reminded me of those metallic balloons that you can buy for special occasions.
