THE DOORS

Back alley south of Queen Street West between Spadina and Bathurst, Zena & I documented some rich doors.

Thanksgiving

A Special “Happy Thanksgiving” to all my American friends!

This Historical Mural in Islington Village imparts to me the feeling of waiting for the delicious meal mother has begun cooking. I find this mural full of pioneer spirit, and family value which I send to you in lieu of a mural depicting an actual Thanksgiving feast.

This 2-storey high mural is on a house on a hill. That was a challenge for my IPhone!

Is this gorgeous or what?

 The gate was not locked, and there was no dog house so Sherrie & I just went into this amazing graf filled warehouse lot (not posted, yet). This SPUD was a bonus as we looked down to the tracks.
