…..despite the tragedy that this city experienced this week my post will remain positive
Toronto is still one of the best cities in the world to live. We were all shocked by Monday’s senseless act where a lone disturbed man ran down innocent pedestrians on the sidewalk with a van.
Toronto the Good is now being replaced with Toronto Strong. Today I walked about my west end neighbourhood and photographed some colourful and interesting doors.
Thanks to Norm for hosting Thursday Doors.

If you know the weather we’re experiencing right now you know this photo wasn’t taken this week. Hard to believe that the weather was nicer in March than it is now in April.
In living colour…….freezing rain and ice pellets
…..April showers, grey skies, overcast, freezing raining and ice pellets
This may have been the last time I saw the sun (taken a couple of days ago).

I’ve decided to focus my attention on the colour of the doors in my neighbourhood. This week I’ve chosen white and grey.
…..despite the icy temperatures yesterday I ventured down to lake
I never tire of seeing the swans. Yesterday I brought with me the telephoto lens that fits onto my iPhone. I’m not sure I really needed it but I wanted to get as close as possible without scaring them off.

….thanks to WordPress for this week’s theme smile
Today we woke up to grey skies and soon after it started to snow. Later in the afternoon the sun came out but it was short lived as a north west wind blew through bringing with it a blustery storm. I couldn’t believe how quickly the weather changed.
This is the view from our daughter’s house in Hamilton.
Fortunately the blizzard only lasted about 10 minutes and once again the sun came out and so did my smile. Here are a few shots of blue sky, the sun and a trumpet of swans that reappeared when the weather changed. All things that bring a smile to my face after this long weird winter and quirky start to spring.
…..not as late as last week’s Challenge
Thanks Cee for hosting the Which Way Photo Challenge. Your challenges always challenge me to look for the unusual and sometimes mundane subjects. Here are a few shots that I took on my walk a few days ago.
….but I haven’t yet removed my snow tires
The shrubs and trees are starting to develop their buds, crocus are starting to emerge from the hard cold ground and I finally took down my Christmas lights.
