It is playoff season for the NHL so this sculpture by artist Patrick Amiot was quite suitable when it was displayed outside a gallery in the Yorkville neighbourhood. All the sports bars are happy this week.

And other things that I like!

Finding A Windbreak
It was a sunny but windy and cool day when I spotted this squirrel tucked up near the trunk of a large pine tree. With its tail pulled up along its back it made for a cozy spot to eat a snack. Squirrels always seem to be eating or looking for something to eat.

Past Generations of Transportaton
One from my archives shows two past generations of streetcars that were on display last fall during the TTC Open House at the Hillcrest yards. The one on the left still appears during special events while the one on the right was a familiar sight until just a few years ago. The newest streetcars are a lot longer and are articulated.

Balconies
I love the balconies on this old house which is up near Casa Loma. It is good to get out for shots of homes before the leaves come out on the trees so I took this one a few weeks ago. I like the details up around that top balcony. This is a very expensive area so this house would be pricey.

Pink
This small Magnolia tree is always the first one to flower in our neighbourhood and once again it was a surprise to see it in bud a couple of weeks ago. Not only is the tree small, which is good for this front garden, but the flowers are also small & delicate.
