I Can See Clearly Now The Rain Has Gone

Sunday evening a heavy rain storm that lasted about ten minutes passed through here. This is the sunset that followed.

Bike Rider

There are still people around that don't need special clothing when they go bike riding.

Sunrise Robin

The early bird gets the worm.

Farmer's Market Snack

Would you order a snack from this hole in the wall?

*****************************************

What if you could see what was on the other side of the wall? If you said no go back and look at the first photo again and you will see a certificate on the window with the word PASS printed on it. That is what the Health Inspectors post after a examining the premises. The rules are strict here. I have seen them close a business for infractions that people don't even practice at home in their kitchens.

A Earlier Time In My Life

This building is a blast from the past for me. Back in the 1960's it was the original Thrifty's. Their speciality was equestrian horse riding clothing. I was attracted to the store by their line of jeans, black leather jackets and motorcycle boots. Later they expanded operations into malls across Canada dropping the horse riding clothing in favour of jeans and casual wear. After various buy outs you can now recognize them as Bluenotes. The area is pretty much the same. To left the pawn shop is still there and the Streetcars still operate on Queen Street.

Monday Beards

Hard hats with beards.

Random

With my camera strap around my neck and the camera hanging just about
at my waistline I tried this shot without looking through the viewfinder.

Car Graveyard

Every once and awhile I return to Eric's Custom Auto Body to see what's new. Or should I say what's old?

What's In The Box?

Can you believe it? We have just found the hide and go seek champion from 1990.

Down At The Boardwalk

Oh, when the sun beats down
And burns the tar up on the roof
And your shoes get so hot
You wish your tired feet were fireproof.

Signs - Happy Grandchildren

GIANT

This man is truly a giant and must be over seven feet tall. The first time I saw the gent I wanted to photograph him but I was still working on my shyness of street photograph. Lucky for me I spotted him later and said to myself it's now or never.

Monday Beards

This beard is a Toronto Blue Jay baseball (the hat) and a Tim Horton's coffee (the cup) fan.

Showing Off

I am so happy. Harry just gave me some jewellery for my wings and a ring for my leg.

Every year on this day I pay tribute to those that took part on the beaches of Normandy
in the bloody battle of the repatriation of Europe from the Nazis.

Senior Citizen

Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile. Albert Einstein.

Signs - Coffee & Gas

The price you see for gas is for one litre. Believe it or not, the coffee is much more expensive Than the fuel.

On the side it says The Old Goats Delivery. I haven'y a clue what that means.

Three beards for the price of one shutter click.

Fishing

Trout fishing in Port Hope on the Ganaraska River.
