Thursday Doors on Eleventh Street
…..thanks Norm for hosting Thursday Doors
This week, October 12, 2107, my doors come from my neighbourhood. Last week I featured doors on Tenth Street and this week I’m posting doors a block west of there. I love this time of year because people are putting out harvest and Hallowe’en decorations.

Thursday Doors on Tenth Street
….thanks to Norm for hosting Thursday Doors – Oct. 5, 2017
The streets that run north/south in my neighbourhood are all named with numbers, i.e., First Street, Second Street, etc.. It can be a bit challenging when you live at the bottom of the street close to the lake and have a low house number. When your address is 7 Sixth Street it is not uncommon for people to end up at 6 Seventh Street by mistake. The other challenge is that the streets on the Toronto Islands have the same names. This is where postal codes are really important if you want your letter to get to the right place.

….Mundane Monday Challenge #129
Taken last year when my macro lens was still new and I had no idea how to use it. Wish I had taken more shots of this but I didn’t know how to change the settings at the time.
