Walking through the Kingsway to get back to my parked car I saw this amazing and original Hallowe’en display.

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge – Candid
…thanks to Ann-Christine for hosting this week’s Lens-Artists Photo Challenge
Candid shots are the ones where your subject is unaware that they’re being photographed. There are photographers who specialize in street photography where they almost exclusively take candid shots.
More Backyard Visitors
….after I filled up the bird feeder
I sat still on the deck hoping to capture some birds at the feeder but they stayed away when they saw me sitting there. There were however, a few critters that didn’t seem bothered by my presence.

I think I got a little carried away with this one. 
The Big Draw
….an art event sponsored by the Toronto Historical Museums
Last weekend I was surrounded by art. On Saturday I spent the day at WAAC downtown, selling used books from our library. It rained off and on so we decided to hold the sale inside the gallery where a beautiful show was on display. It is called ‘Artists Choice’. My only regret is that I didn’t take any photos to share with you.
On Sunday I volunteered to man the chalk mural outside of Montgomery’s Inn. It was only one of many art activities that was taking place at the Inn. Some of the rooms were set up with paper and pencils for patrons to sketch the still life arrangement that had been created for the event and other rooms had brown paper on the tables with crayons for anyone to draw on. One of the highlights at the Inn took place in the Briarly Room where an artist was supervising the painting of the windows to look like stained glass. Adults and children alike enjoyed painting this very large piece.
All in all the Big Draw was a big success at the Inn. On Saturday they had about 80 people show up and on Sunday close to 140 took part in the activities. I spent a good six hours there creating art with chalk on the walls around the patio. Sadly the rain in recent days has washed much of it away but we knew that would happen going into it.
Inside the Inn there were plenty of activities for those who didn’t want to brave the cooler temperatures outside.
Artsy Lines
…thanks to Becky of The Life of B for hosting this month’s Lines in Squares
This square comes from the Big Draw that was held on the weekend here in Toronto. The square was created from chalk pastels and was drawn on the wall next to Montgomery’s Inn.
Thursday Doors – Sept. 26, 2019
…thanks to Norm for hosting Thursday Doors
Walking through Long Branch (south west corner of Toronto) this week I came across a lot of new construction. Many of the older homes are being torn down and replaced with very modern designs. Not all of them are to my liking but some of them have very interesting doors. No two were alike.
From Summer to Autumn
