Today. Wonderful
and Shiny.
I am not usually a morning person but how could I resist not getting up and moving on this gorgeous spring day? With my metropass in my back pocket….
… and my walking sandals on (Yes! Sandals!) I headed out to explore the day.
(early enough to beat the crowds!)
The early morning criss cross shadows and reflections.
The soft greens, and almost yellows, of new leaves.
The flowers – tulips, daffodils and hyacinths – that have spring up in planters around the city.
Oh no. The geese are back (or did they never leave?).
The dogs are still waiting for the water to be turned on.
On Yonge Street (near Wellington), there has been too much water. The street has been closed while water main issues are straightened out (it has since been opened).
While Yonge was closed anyhow, workmen install a new sign at the corner of Yonge & Wellington.
Also needing fixing – yesterday’s wind storm left a lot of damage around the city including this very large tree that lost a very large branch. Actually the whole tree has come down.
Lots of wires were down too.
Not everybody was up with the sun this morning.
I hope that your day was shiny and bright too!
I can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings!

What a joyful walk and account, even though the storm damage looks quite substantial. Those dogs always get to me. 🙂
Thanks! The dogs are rather silly. They look much better once the water is flowing!
What a great way to spend the morning after that wind storm. Everything does look so bright and cheerful … even if a bit damaged.
For favourite photo, it would be a toss-up between the trees starting to get their green on (downtown looks much further ahead than out here in the ‘burbs) and the downed hydro pole. Love them both.
Thanks. The colour of the trees at this time of the year is one of my favorite signs of spring. The hydro pole was down for about 24 hours. It is now cut in pieces and piled beside the street. The wires were rerouted.
