Male Mallards/ Mosaic Monday

Mallards wintering under a bridge in Newmarket, Ontario

These guys never flew to south of the border to a warmer clime but instead decided to spend January and February in a local stream that never freezes over completely.

On Snow/ Shadow Shot

Shadows on snow between a fence and barn

The sun seems to be getting brighter every day and the shadows darker.

Fences and trees casting shadows on pristine snow

Stained Glass/ Mid-Week Blues

Stained glass window on outside wall of restaurant, Unionville, Ontario

On a recent visit to Unionville, a tourist town between where I live and Toronto, I noticed these beautiful stained glass windows. I think they are pretty cool!

Another window, same restaurant

F/ ABC Wednesday

A FIDDLER outside a restaurant on Main Street, Unionville, Ontario

What a guy! The FIDDLER stands there day and night to entertain passersby and perhaps persuade a few to enter the restaurant he stands beside.

The FIDDLER from a different angle

Red and Round/Barn Charm

Sailing, Sailing/ Ruby Tuesday

Dreaming of Summer

For the Birds/ Mosaic Monday

Four birdhouses and a birdhouse fence

It's too early yet for birds to be house hunting in my area, but at the moment there are many available! Four of the squares show actual birdhouses and two are of a fence, which I think is totally awesome.

Port Hope/ Sunday Bridges

The main street into town crosses the Ganaraska River

Gotta love a town that has enough civic pride to place flower boxes on a bridge.

In a Window/ Mid-Week Blues

Seen through a second-storey window

Seems like a strange place to park this water toy. I wonder what it looks like inside this room. Hmmm.

E/ ABC Wednesday

EMERGENCY  Response Vehicle on Highway 401, Toronto

 

Toronto area drivers are crazy! So I imagine this vehicle  has tons of business.

Another EMERGENCY vehicle, this one leaving its station in Mount Albert (East Gwillimbury)

I like to see this vehicle parked and NOT on its way somewhere, because if it's moving. something bad has probably happened somewhere in East Gwillimbury.

Another Green/ Barn Charm

Long, low barn for horses

I've slowly become aware of the many green barns there are in Ontario.  This one is in Uxbridge Township, quite close to where I live. and I have passed it many times. It suddenly registered in my brain that it is GREEN.
