Follow The Creek

 

This sign is posted along Philosopher's Walk and gives a bit of history about the buried creek that still runs beneath it. The creek was buried in the 1800s but the shape of its path still exists in the shape of the walk.

Gates On Bloor St W

 

When walking along Bloor St W by the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM)  you will come upon these gates which lead to a lovely pathway through part of the U of T campus. Most people don't notice the entrance and pass by but it it is a tranquil path which I will show you for the next few days. It is called Philosophers Walk.

Purple Squirrel

 

This squirrel looks like it is struggling to hang on while it grabs some treats. The artist for this one is Yenlinh.

A Gem

 

I took this shot the day before our recent snowstorm and haven't been by to see if any of the gorgeous leaves are still on the tree. I took no pics of the snow - tried to pretend it wasn't there. It is all melted now.

Treats?

 

I was walking through an area at U of T that has a lot of resident squirrels when I stopped to take a few pics. This little devil came running up to me looking for a hand out and was quite indignant when I had nothing for him.

Getting Ready

 

Women were getting ready for a soccer match at Varsity Stadium at U of T when I went by on a Sunday afternoon. It was a perfect day for a match. The women in white were the U of T team but I am not sure who the ones in red were.

Shoe Museum

 

This is the Bata Shoe Museum which is located on Bloor St very near yesterday's hot dog stand. The museum was designed by architect Raymond Moriyama and is celebrating its 30th anniversary. It is a surprisingly (to me) interesting place to visit with a collection going back thousands of years as well as special exhibits of a more contemporary style. The building is said to reference an open shoe box.
