Birds On Bloor

 

All along Bloor St in the Yorkville neighbourhood the large planter boxes have been planted up with flowers which are colour coordinated to match the birds that live in each planter. I liked these colours best.

A Crowd Of Ducks

 

The crowd of ducks in the foreground has attracted the 2 ducks in the upper half of this shot. They were rushing over to see if they were missing out on something. Spotted at James Gardens.

More Magnolia Beauty

 

I couldn't resist another pic of a tree in blossom. This deep pink Magnolia was spotted in a small front garden in the Annex neighbourhood. Our weather has been up and down with cool nights and I think that has let the blossoms last a bit longer this year.

Changes

 

I just happened to be going by while they were taking down scaffolding around the lower floor of this new building on Spadina south of Bloor St W. The tall building is a new student residence for U of Toronto while the small older building on the left was the site of a wonderful bookstore for 35 years. The old building is now just a reminder of its construction in 1885 and this part only survived after much resistance from neighbourhood groups to its proposed demolition.

An Unusual Name

 

Good juice box feels like such an unusual name for a vintage clothing store that I think it is worth a visit to check things out. This is another street shot along Bloor St in Korea Town.

Blossom Time

 

This large tree in a neighbours back garden puts on a great show each spring. I am not sure but I always think that it must be an apple tree. This is the view from our roof deck.

Korea Mural

 

This really long mural is found on the side of a large Korean grocery store in Korea Town on Bloor St W. The store is a great source of anything Asian that you need for cooking. Those racks in front are for the city's bike rentals but most of them were gone when I went by.
