A week back in Toronto with restrictions starting to ease which is so nice. Mask wearing is still mandatory in all public places, physical distancing inside everywhere, inside and outside limits on group sizes are still in place, but having more stores and things like museums and art galleries etc., open (with strict capacity limits) is helping to bring back a little sense of normalcy.
I had a rather unmotivated week. I did get out and about every day, but no big ‘adventures’ - mainly just walking in my neighbourhood … Oh!!! And I got my haircut for the first time in 9 months!! Hallelujah!!
I’m not sure how it grows, but this lovely little Rose of Sharon it all entwined around this tree trunk.
Aren’t purple doors just so stunning?!
The back sign, ‘Happy Father’s Day’, is a bit out of date now, but it’s nice to walk past and see the messaging of the front two.
Butterflies and bumblebees busy in this garden this afternoon.
Two different streets in my neighbourhood today - was this ‘give your couch/sofa away’ day?
Not sure why two are needed?
I love how the new growth is red in colour.
Careful - the trees in my neighbourhood are keeping an eye on all that happens!
Local frog family.
When they took the front facade off this building these beautiful arches, pillars and carving were discovered.
This sign had us all laughing as we walked past - “My hands are consuming more alcohol than my mouth these days!” It was set up outside a local pub which claimed it could help with that problem.
I thought this was just an old tree stump when I first walked by, but on closer examination…there’s a little village inside!
Two little flowers in the middle of big bush.
This interactive, tactile mural is the first of its kind in Toronto and very possibly Canada. It was designed and created in partnership with the Canadian National Institute for the Blind and Partially Sighted. It is meant to be touched with eyes closed and interpreted through textures but also enjoyed visually from a far. Textures have been added to the wall - the water, trees, grass and rocks have been textured and raised. Each object has its own unique texture to differentiate each element from one and other.
Artwork as part of a fundraiser for “The Brain Project” - to help defeat dementia.
The crane operator was on the ground beside me…operating this boom arm way up there!
