Graffiti

Snapped this quick picture at the same location as this one, a warehouse complex near Venables and Clark. The graffiti is so over-the-top it almost looks like a movie set - but it isn't one.

Olympics

Stumbled across this stenciled bit of protest graffiti about six months after the 2010 Olympics had come and gone. It was on a curb outside a warehouse where I was picking up my share of a local wheat harvest. (44 lbs of flour!) The website is no longer operating, but in one way they got their wish. It's not 2010 anymore.

Cherry Blossom

Was bicycling along East 10th Avenue (a designated cycling route) near St. Catherines Street yesterday while running errands on the east side of the city and stopped dead in the middle of the intersection, dug out my camera from my shoulder bag, and grabbed this quick shot of the cherry trees gloriously in bloom, forming a canopy over the entire street, fallen blossoms littering the street like pink snow drifts. Lovely.
