A Snowy Sunday

 

This street runs through a very pleasant area across the road from Casa Loma. It was looking especially beautiful early on a Sunday morning.

Another Neighbour

 

This is Spadina House which is located beside Cas Loma at the top of those stairs that I showed you the other day. Built in 1866 it was privately owned until the 1980s when it was donated to the city. It was extensively updated and is now decorated in a style from the 1920s and 30s and is operated as a museum. There are many original features like murals that have been restored. This pic was taken early on a Sunday morning before any shoveling happened after the overnight snow.

Garage Landscape

 

This has to be one of the nicest garage doors that I have seen in a long time but there was no artist signature on it so we don't know who to credit. It would feel like you were going on a journey every time you came home.

Neighbour

 

This house is directly across the road from Casa Loma and I always wonder if there is some connection to the Casa since its style looks to blend so well with its imposing neighbour.

Walking In The Snow

 

It must be cold on those feet walking through the snow but it doesn't seem to bother them. Spring can't come too soon.

At The Top

 

This is the view from the top of the stairs leading to Casa Loma looking back down the hill and along Spadina Rd to downtown. The CN Tower is hidden by the trees. I've always loved that large oak tree just left of centre in the pic.

Puffs Of Snow

 

I was half way up the stairs leading to Casa Loma when I came upon these bushes with wonderful puffballs of snow and had to get a shot. It is always nice to get outside before the wind blows the snow off the branches.
