Queen Street Graffitti

These are some of the amazing artists working downtown. Most of these photos were taken in alleys near Queen and Bathurst. There really is amazing street art if you look for it. Most of these images are partial sections of large wall works.

This is my Kensington...

I love living in Kensington Market. I can think of no other place in the city that could possibly be this stimulating. All I need to do is step outside my loft and I am immersed in four square blocks of interactive sitcom. I find the whole experience to be thoroughly entertaining! This is a group of photos from one of my days out in the market.





This tree is in my garden. It makes me smile everytime I look at it. At some point there must have been a chain link fence that the tree grew around. Now the fence piece is a tooth. Somebody put the eyes on, and ...

An ipod, a camera, and a sunny winters day.

I woke up this morning. It was one of those days. One of those REALLY great days in the city. The kind where you can have a sort of a Toronto walk about. It can only be topped by the Toronto "bike about". You just walk out the front door with your ipod, a camera, and your intentions. Then you just see where you end up. It was warm today. There is a definate smell that comes with the sun and the warmth. Yesterday was the first day that I noticed it this year. Ahh, I love the smell of spring.

Eckhart Tolle "A New Earth"

Any book that opens this way has me hooked immediately!!! I have been reading a great deal as of late. I normally either do not make time, or do not have time? For some reason, I do now??? This book By Eckhart Tolle is about Awakening Your Life's Purpose. Read it! It is important.



These photos are from my last trip to Costa Rica. They fit the text so well, I could not resist!
