day 314 - door

this door was up for sale at an antique shop on the danforth. whereof would one use it? i reckon (this is the second time i used that word - reckon - in as many days) one would have to custom made their door frame to be able to use this door. i do like the poppy drawing, though it doesn't come with the door. 'sold separately.'

day 313 - a beautiful autumn sky

it was a tad crappy today but at some point there was a golden sunshine that peaked through, which was all too brief and then the winds blew fiercer and the clouds rolled in again. this weekend, the forecast said, will be crappy as hell, rains, and probably sleet. i'm not ready for winter yet. i understand the earth is due for a polar reversal, ain't it happening yet?

day 312 - almost winter wonderland

the snow has stopped this morning but the cold continues, and we reckon it will get colder. why, winter is just around the corner, in a few more days, just before Christmas day comes. there is very little snow and it will be gone before the afternoon ends and the drab greyish hue will once again wrap around us with the sub-zero cold. give me summer already!

day 301 - it's looking a lot like Christmas!!

we had our first real snowfall this morning - one that stayed on the ground for longer than two hours. in fact the sidewalks were quite icy when i went out to take pictures. the winds were bitter and really biting.

i saw this window planter at one of the townhouses in the block next to ours. i think the ball is made of some kind of leaves, but the rest are live plants, as well as the snow-ice that's collected on top. pretty little planter, i say.

day 284 - autumn flora

outside one of the shops on danforth, there is a little planter garden with very sturdy autumn plants and this is the end part of it. i don't know what kind of plant these orange thingies are, but they are very attractive and colourful. i should go back and take a picture of the whole planter.

day 273 - good morning!

the sun shone brightly this morning and i walked down to eastlyn park so i could take pictures of the leaves on the ground. of the many i took, i think this speaks more of autumn.

day 256 - autumn colours in full force

how i managed to take this picture from inside a speeding car is beyond me. it baffles me though that one side of the highway is almost red and yellow, nary a green leaf, and the other side is still a mix of colours, still with lots of greens. but with the winds being as they are today and yesterday, next week, when i take pictures again, i'd bet all those trees would be semi-bald. brrrrrr! it's getting colder.

day 255 - sunflower in the middle of autumn?

passed by a building on the danforth at the corner of broadview and there were these really tall sunflower plants. the other bigger sunflowers had all withered but this one still looks like it's in full bloom. and i had to really stand tippy-toes to get a shot of this sunflower because it was probably about seven or more feet tall!
