Halloween

Today is Halloween in Canada. Tonight children will dress up in costumes and go from house to house asking for a treat.
It is tradition that the homeowner will handout a gift of candy or other snacks.

Sunny Autumn Day

A nice fall day brings out the walkers and the joggers.

Signs - Tim Horton's

Tim Horton's is doing major renovations to all of their coffee shops. When this happens they close the shop and wheel in a mobile trailer. They never lose a beat when it comes to sales and profits. I'm linking to Lesley's Signs, Signs.

Adjustments Coming

It won't be long until these boats...

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

...end up like this one heading off to winter storage.

Evil Eye

The musician and the skateboarder.

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

One of the hazards of street photography is getting the look.

Rainy Day

Into each life some rain must fall. - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Service Station

Walking the Halifax Water Front Trail I came across this couple doing something to their bikes.
As it turned out this is a bike mechanic stand for making minor repairs.

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

The heavy duty repair stand has a selection of tamper resistant tools and an air pump for tending most repairs on the fly. It even has QR codes for smart phone users to lookup common repair how to's. I have never seen anything like this before. I thought it was so cool.

Indian Summer

Yesterday temperatures went up to 18°C. With a high pressure system in place there
was no stopping the sun from shining through making it feel even warmer.

Talk To The Animals

In more ways than one she has a captive audience.

Signs - Comics

When I was kid, comic books were a big part of my life. I'm linking to Lesley's Signs, Signs.

The Lady With Autumn Colours

I like how the colours of her top go with the colours of the flora.

4X4 In The City

Redneck truck making a left turn.

Graffiti

Every once in awhile someone makes changes to this so called piece of art.

Expired

Due to the changing seasons, summer days like this are definitely over for the year of 2014.

Skywalkers

The walkway and the feeble railing are recent additions. Yes, trains still operate here!

Flower Pot Island

On the Fundy Trail... Mother Nature continues to amaze.

Signs - Ghost

Tired

There was nothing wrong with the guy on the floor. Waiting for his train to pull in he was just sleepy and trying to stay awake.

Bundle Buggy Dog

Pushing the pooch.

TV Crew

On the street interview.

Smiles

I couldn't resist photographing this couple. Their smiles had some kind of magic going back and forth between them.

How Not To Treat A Mural

Located in Windsor, Nova Scotia, the mural and the building have fallen on hard times.

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

Painted by artist Ken Spearing in 2003. He also has other murals in town that are well maintained.

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

Shambles.

Relic

Located in my neighbourhood it is a left over from a bygone era when the area was cottage country. The building use to serve as post office. You can still see "Post Office" etched into the side window.

Signs - Protest

Someone in the State Of Maine is sharing their discontent. I'm linking to Lesley's Signs, Signs.

Construction

Moxie's Grill & Bar is the latest addition to the city.

Zoo Visitors ☂

On a recent trip to the zoo I spotted these guys up on the roof of one of the pavilions. They are not part of the animal display but rather a family that wondered in from the wooded area that surrounds the zoo.

Church Steeple ☂

This is close enough to religion for me.

Carnival ☂

The carnival is in town,

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

Where there's a carnival there's Carnies.

Observing ☂

People watching while I remain inconspicuous.

Farmer's Market ☂

Saturday mornings are so busy at the market.

Signs - Royalty

You don't have to be a King, a Queen or a poker player to use one of these. I'm linking to Lesley's Signs, Signs.
