Second Pandemic Summer in Toronto

Bill and I continued our photo-walks this summer.

Bill has developed a radar for good murals and graffiti.

Pho Hung restaurant on Saint Andrew Street.

I'm always looking for something abstract.

Here's something!

And here's a doozie! Detail of Douglas Coupland's "Monument to the War of 1812".

One morning in Kensington Market we stood mesmerized by this talented musician. Bill got the picture.

When I came out of my trance I saw this little face at my feet.

Now for some Toronto vernacular. Bill's shot of a private back garden. A garden? Under those tarps?

Bill calls this "the narrow house".

This little old shop is called the Winners Lotto Mart.

I looked at the back of this sunflower for some time and decided that this thing is seriously over-designed.

Ragweed or goldenrod? One causes allergies the other does not. Sure hope these are goldenrod because they are thriving on every corner.

Is it old age? I find myself warming-up to this mid-century brutalist building on Yonge Street. Sure is abstract!

The city has taken down a construction fence near Grange Park and we can now get the Sharp Centre for Design and Above Ground art supplies in one shot.

In a service alley near Palmerston I was lining up this garage door on my phone. Bill said, "Don't move. I'm taking your picture." And that was our summer.
