Edwin Avenue

December 28, 2009 by Gail

it had to be done...

I’ve been living in Toronto’s west end for two and a half years, and I pass by this sign from time to time. Finally, FINALLY, today I took a photo of it from the beginning of the street, which is short — just like me.

I had a couple of errands to run at midday, the last of my five days off, and I brought my camera along with the low-profile lens, the thrifty fifty (also known as the “nifty fifty”). I took some shots around the Queen Street East area before heading north to the vet on Eglinton Street to stock up on the expensive low-protein cat chow that keeps the beasties healthy. The bits of white in the photos is snow, but there isn’t much of it and nothing is sticking, which makes Toronto snowless this winter as of December 28. Such a far cry from last year, and even the year before. No complaints from the House of Fielding!

No photo viewer this time, I’m going to paste in all the photos one by one…

Video for today: a (rather crappy) video I shot of ice skating in Nathan Phillips Square, three years ago. Hopefully the next camera I get will have HD video…

    I love the evergreens with the red berry contrast. All that is missing is snow to make the picture perfect. At least that is my oppinion. Does it count?
