Finding Some Warmth

It was one of those days when the air was a bit cool but the sun was strong so it was heating up surfaces. I looked out on the deck and saw this dragonfly sitting on large piece of marble. The sun had gone in but the marble was wonderfully warm and the dragonfly was taking advantage of it. I grabbed the camera and took a bunch of shots from really close and the dragonfly never moved. I was starting to think it was injured when the sun came out and it lifted off and flew away. That little dot of green paint is only about 2mm wide so that gives you a good scale.

A Nice Day For A Walk?

When I left for a walk it was sunny and warm but just after a few minutes the sky changed to this. I sped up a bit but luckily the clouds passed by and I was back into the sunshine.

Musical Friends

 I was wandering around on a Sunday morning when I heard lovely music coming from a tiny parkette. As I got closer I spotted this trio of friends having a good time playing together. I'm not sure if it is a regular thing but they were well organized and had brought a music stand and  a couple of chairs along so as to be nicely arranged. It was a lovely thing to see and hear.

"Yes It Hurts"

I pass by this tattoo shop often but just recently noticed the neon sign they have inside on their wall. "Yes it hurts" is a fabulous thing to be hanging in such a shop don't you think. Plus there is a nice reflection of the cold beer sign from across the street - that is where I was.

Beauty Along The Sidewalk

 It is the time of year when there are huge patches of Cosmos flowers lining sidewalks all over the city. The flowers reseed themselves and expand each year into these large swathes of beauty.

Bluebird

I posted this mural by Christina Mazzulla several years ago but on passing by it recently I loved how the greenery was growing up and around the bird so here it is again. It is nice to see that no one has tagged it after all these years. It is a favourite.

Game Anyone?

 This sculpture of basketballs was spotted in the food court of a shopping centre. I didn't get any artist name but it is a nice bit of fun to see.
