This is another building by architect Uno Prii built in 1965 on Avenue Rd not far from the Annex neighbourhood where a lot of his apartment buildings are located. It is nice that almost all of his buildings have been well maintained through the years and many have heritage protection.
I recently passed by the apartment at 35 Walmer Rd which is one of the buildings designed by Uno Prii in the 1960s and discovered that this sign has been placed out front pointing to other projects by him in the Annex neighbourhod. You can see them if you click the Uno Prii label below and I will show you another of his buildings tomorrow.

I happened upon the work of artist Natasha Miller who works in charcoal and acrylics to paint lovely peaceful scenes like this one. You can visit her website HERE. That looks like the perfect place to go to keep a distance from the rest of the world.
The same complex where the pigeons and the beaver that I have shown the last few weeks has a small outbuilding used for garbage containers. One side of this small building has these dangerous looking wasps who seem to the guards. They would certainly keep me away!

This is just part of a lovely spring garden that I passed during one of my walks. In the forefront the ivy is just starting to sprout up for the season. During the summer this garden is full of Hostas and other perennials.
I was wandering along a laneway trying to avoid people when I happened upon this wonderful garage door with the cute Chickadees. The artist for this one is Nick Sweetman who has done some fabulous murals around town. Click on the Sweetman label below to see more of them.

I first posted a pic of the Summerhill LCBO back in September 2010 (HERE) and thought it was time to revisit it. After yesterday's pic I walked under the railway bridge and emerged to take this pic of the main entrance. Built in 1916 to be The North Toronto Railway Station, the building quit that function in 1930 and most of its exterior was covered by boarding as it operated as a Beer Store & a LCBO outlet. In 2004 it was beautifully restored and is now the largest liquor store in Canada. The tower is 140 ft tall and can be seen from far away as you walk along Yonge St which is Toronto's main street.
