Winter Bench

Overlooking Lake Ontario, the cold air and the cold but warmer water meet causing a low lying formation of clouds over the water. Right at the moment the bench is reserved for a summer day.

Feeling The Cold

Improvising when one has no hat.

Signs, Signs - Ed's

Honest Ed's is a discount store located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It is named for its owner and founder, Ed Mirvish, who opened the store in 1948 and oversaw its operations for almost sixty years, until his death in 2007. He was a way ahead of Sam Walton and this was his one and only store. He also expanded into the live theatre business and brought many broadway shows to Toronto.

Monday Bikes On Tuesday - Curbside

For sale on the sidewalk outside of Curbside Cycle.
PS: I usually post this on Monday but I bumped it so I could post the the snow that fell overnight on Sunday into Monday morning.

More Snow Overnight

It's a retired bus driver's dream. I don't have to go to work an drive in this krap. :)

Cold Day On The Trail

This is a small portion of the waterfront trail that is 1400 km (870 miles) long.
It stretches from the Town of Lakeshore on Lake St. Clair to the Quebec border, following the shores of Lake Erie, Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River in Ontario, Canada. When I took this photo the temperature was -23°C or -9°F. I saw no cats, dogs or birds... just me and they say I belong to the intelligent species.

Walmart Shopper

Not to worry, she is crossing on a green light.

Mouse Boat

I wonder if the owner's name is Walt?

Newspaper Purchase

I was watching her as she struggled to get the newspaper box to work. It took her few tries to get it open. I didn't realized until I got home and viewed my daily photo catch that she was the same person I photographed earlier in the day. You can see that photo here.

Need A Purse?

Too cold outside... so I'm back indoors at the flea market.

Winter Go Away #2

When I was a kid this was the only way to get a drink at the park.
Now thanks to bottle water, drinking fountains are obsolete.

Winter, Go Away #1

I have the winter blahs... so for a couple of days I have decide to post some summertime photos.

Toronto's New Subway Train

The University line is the quietest (least used) subway route in the city.

Canon

Photographing my son's camera on a bar top. What can say? It's too friggin cold to go outside.

Green Head

Everyone has their own technique on how to keep warm.

Signs, Signs - Deceptive Appearance

The checkerboard road sign warns of danger. This one is also an illusion. Stare at the sign and tell me if the right or left side corner is closer. Be careful, in might switch to the opposite side. I'm linking to Lesley's Signs, Signs.

Winter Shadows

This time of year the shadows are so long.

Monday Bikes - The Smoking Courier

Usually bike couriers are much younger than this man.

Suet

Feeding the birds over winter, will give them a head start in the spring.

Avoid the crowds, arrive at the flea market early. Take notice of the glaring eyes on the right hand side.

DVD & Blu-rays

At the Pickering Flea Market, Michele is the man to see for the best prices on DVD and Blu-ray disc.
He doesn't always have his eyes closed. I just caught him at a bad moment.
