Yard Art/ Ruby Tuesday

Yard Art?

These two boats are stored beside a house somewhere in Ontario near Lake Huron.  It never ceases to amaze me what some people store in their side yards. I think the smaller boat had red trim before it turned to rust.

Trotters/ Mosaic Monday

Exercising just outside Uxbridge, Ontario

It often surprises me how pleased some people are when I stop to take photos of them. This fellow very graciously thanked me.

Orono/ Sunday Bridges

A public park in Orono, Ontario

Actually, there were three identical bridges spanning this creek but I couldn't get them into one photo as the creek is a bit winding.

Drip, Drip/ Shadow Shots

Dripping in the sun

I love how the siding changes the straight lines of the icicles into squiggles in the shadow.

Cobourg/ Windows & Doors

Watsons Guardian Drugs

I didn't go in but looking onto the windows it looks like the Watsons Guardian Drugs sells more than just health products.

Cobourg/ Mid-Week Blues

Beach in winter, Cobourg, Ontario

An incredibly beautiful sunny day and the beach is empty. Not even a lifeguard!

Three shades of blue: sky, water and roof on lifeguard station. And there's orange: snow fence to keep snow from drifting.

B/ ABC Wednesdays

Metallic BENCH in an Uxbridge, Ontario park

I love the motif on the back of this park BENCH. I have no idea if this is comfortable to sit on as I didn't try it out.

Pink flamingo with a ruby glow

This flamingo was blushing - not sure why - on a counter in a small town eatery where we stopped for a quick bite.

Bus Stops/ Mosaic Monday

Waiting for the school bus

Waiting for the school bus to arrive can be a chilling experience, so homemade school-bus-stop shelters are common at the end of long country driveways here in Ontario.

End of day, crossing the Trent River, Trenton, Ontario

Yep, that's ice and snow on the river.

Shadows of lacy leaves

It was a cold winter day but the sun shone on this south-facing balcony decorated with metallic leaves creating leafy shadows.

A/ ABC Wednesday

"A" Cab is a cab, Bracebridge, Ontario

(With apologies to William Shakespeare)
 What's in a name? That which we call "A" Cab by any other name would be, you guessed it,  a cab.

Woody/ Mosaic Monday

Hairy Woodpecker eating peanuts

This woody was way more interested in eating these peanuts than in me with my camera.

Century Home/ Window Views

Atop an old home, Port Perry Ontario

I'm not sure why some very old homes have these towers, but they certainly add to their grandeur.

The Roxy/ Signs, Signs

Movie Theatre, Uxbridge, Ontario

The Roxy looks old, but today you can see new and/or old movies  seven days a week, which include weekend and holiday matinees. And in summer they show family films during the day and a teen film on Fridays...as well as films for adults.

Sadly, I have never seen a movie here. Hmmm.  Maybe something needs to be done about THAT! To see what's playing NOW,  click HERE

Store Front/ Mid-Week Blues

Not Just Country, Zephyr, Ontario

A village shop that carries home and garden decor. I bet it's a great place to browse on a winter day...but we were in a hurry to move on.

A snowy day in ZEPHYR, Ontario
