On A Tilt

 I've always liked this tilted building which is part of a condo complex in the financial district. It houses a restaurant but since we have been locked down for basically the last year I haven't been near it so am not sure if the restaurant has survived.

When We Could Gather

This pic was taken way back in 2015 when Toronto was hosting the Pan-Am Games and there were lots of activities going on all around the city. This is the sidewalk on Queen St W and a band was getting set up to play a free concert. It is hard to remember being able to be close to other people and to actually see an event taking place!

Fruit Market

You can find small fruit markets like this one all over the city but especially along Bloor St W where you can spot one in some areas every couple of blocks. Apparently it is mango season and many of the markets specialize in certain types so there is a lot of activity going on among mango eaters. I've never tried one!

Sweet Singing

 I spotted this steel bird singing away atop a fence in the neighbourhood. I know that the artist for this sweet bird is JP Schoss who uses reclaimed metal to create a huge variety of creatures. There are a lot of them sprinkled about our area atop fences and railings. I have two of them myself.

A Journey In The Laneway

 During this time of lockdown here even this mural of a road trip painted on a garage door makes for a nice escape. The artist for this one is Lisa Litowitz who is known for her landscape paintings.

Paper Bunnies

There is a paper store in Koreatown on Bloor St W which specializes in pop-up cards. They have a wonderful selection each of which is astounding. Some of them are so intricate that you can't figure out how they could possibly fold down. I took this pic through the window of these two bunnies, perfect for spring!

A Romantic Encounter

I watched these Red-tailed Hawks atop a cell phone tower for about 15 minutes as they squawked at each other, flew around a bit, had a bite to eat, and then got friendly. We should be having young Hawks flying around the neighbourhood this spring!
