‘Out and About – Windows of Time’ is a large mural by Christiano De Araujo that features scenes from the social history of Weston village. Unfortunately, the (painted) young man who is sitting on the sidewalk and playing a guitar is hidden by the (real) car parked in front of the mural.
This post is actually a continuation of today’s other post, “A Little Piece of Weston”. You’ll find other murals and street art there as well as a few little odds and ends about the Weston neighbourhood.
Tdot, an affectionate nickname for Toronto.
A lovely walk on a lovely afternoon discovering lovely things about love and affection.

below: Mother and child.
below: Batman and Robin, oh dear.
below: Some love is fleeting and some may be eternal but his love for Leila was never meant to last.

May all your walks be lovely!
As you walk east on Wellesley towards Church St., you can’t miss the large mural on the side of Ho’s Team Barber and Hairstylist. The red circle with it’s white words “I’m One Too” catch your attention. The mural, by Will Craddock, is part of the Church Street Mural Project.
The circles in the mural are paintings of buttons from the Canadian Lesbian and Gay Archives.
There is actually a small lane that runs beside the button mural. If you walk a little but down that lane and then look at the wall on the other side, you will see another artwork from the Church Street Mural Project. ‘Kiss and Tell’ by Natalie Wood is a series of silhouette couples with their heads close together, either talking or kissing.
