Flower Shop/Mid-Week Blues

Flower shop on Bloor Street, Toronto, Ontario

I wanted to sneak a few flowers into my blog since everyone to the south of East Gwillimbury is showing so many flowers. Fortunately this kind lady was wearing blue.

K/ABC Wednesday

KNOCKER, as in door KNOCKER

My husband has a door KNOCKER KOLLECTION collection. True. And here are two of the brass beauties he has purchased for big bucks pennies at yard sales. These do KNOCK but not on doors. They are decorating a couple of posts on our side porch.

KNOCKER #2

Abandoned/Barn Charm

Abandoned a few miles north of the City of Toronto

The GTA (Greater Toronto Area) is growing exponentially and farms are being sold to developers. To the south of this barn a subdivision that is already lived in.  It's likely that the farmer who once owned this barn has already sold his property to a developer.

Just over the hill are new homes

The old bales of hay awaiting changes to the landscape.

Port Whitby/Ruby Tuesday

Light at Port Whitby, Ontario

Many of the lights on the Canadian side of Lake Ontario seem to be green (I haven't seen them ALL) but this one is ruby red. As you can see, Lake Ontario is free of ice...at least at this harbour.

Canada Geese/Mosaic Monday

Canada geese think it's spring

Bond Head/Sunday Bridges

Railroad bridge built of stone, Bond Head, Ontario

We were curious to see what lay on this side of the bridge so we drove through to find...

a dead end. Haha! So we turned around to take this photo and drove back.  I wonder if there ever were any dead end signs on the other side. There  were none the day we were there.

Caged/Photo Hunter

Goldfinch poking his beak between some wires to reach some CAGED sunflower seeds

This week's Photo Hunter challenge is: CAGED

The cage keeps squirrels out but allows small birds to reach in. Our yard squirrels have not figured out yet how to successfully jump onto this feeder...but a local chipmunk has. And what a piggy!

Machinery/ Photo Hunter

Machine for mowing hay and tall grass

This week's Photo Hunter challenge is: MACHINERY

This mower is stationery, I think, so likely "yard art." But I'm sure it was once (or still may be) useful machinery.

Stained Glass/ Window Views

Old stained glass

To my eyes, these windows seem lovely in their simplicity.

H/ ABC Wednesday

Hawk in tree

This HAWK tolerated me long enough for me to take one shot but...

Hawk leaves tree

...not two shots, which was a huge disappointment. I had really wanted to get a great shot. Next time, maybe.

Red With Cupola/ Barn Charm

Red barns, Upstate New York

Red is cheerful on an overcast day, don't you think?

And Rose is correct, it's cupola not cupolo! Thanks for noticing, Rose. I changed it.
