September theme day: People watching

I love to do a little people watching inside the subway. I actually caught this shot back in July when the Olympics were still on. There were maple leaves almost everywhere in support of Canadian athletes. I'm not sure these people had the Olympics on their minds as they were waiting for the subway, but who knows? Perhaps some of them have Olympic dreams of their own!

It's the first of the month again. If you'd like to see more contributions to the CDP Theme Day, click here. I've also go a bonus people shot on my travel blog.

Sundown on the golf

A beautiful evening sky on the golf course! Hope you have big plans for this long weekend. Mine will definitely include some golf. For more skies, take a look at Skywatch.

A little Moore

I've been finding Moore works all over the place - both here at home and in Chicago! This work can also be found in the Galleria Italia at the AGO. I am thinking about purchasing a one year membership - that way I could visit more often as I just love this place. 

It's a long weekend for us North Americans. I'll be out of town until Monday, but I've got some posts ready for you and I'll be blogging here and there when I have time. Enjoy the long weekend!

Shiny door

The beautiful entrance to DundernCastle in Hamilton, which I still have not visited! The third time will be the charm, I'm sure. I did at least get a few exterior shots the last time I was there with my MiL. I hope it's as majestic inside.

Bright friend

I planted some anemone in my garden this year after seeing photos on EG Camera Girl's blog last summer. I read somewhere that they go well with dahlias, so I planted them all together in one bed. So far, I've had very good luck with this little beauty! I've had several blooms of different colours, but I am especially partial to this red one. I'm not sure if these flowers will come back next year, but if not, I'd definitely plant more. For more reds, take a look at Ruby Tuesday.

Confidential to my sister: Happy birthday!!!

Black diamond

Black Diamond is another golf course that I often like to play. A few weeks ago, I even caught a wedding party there. They have a little gazebo in the back which does make a lovely spot to say "I do". I think the couple got their married life off to a good start!

Shadows at the AGO

Gehry's new additions to the Art Gallery of Ontario also make for some beautiful shadows. Love how these designs play on the white arches. Enjoy the rest of your weekend! For more shadows, take a look at Shadow Shot Sunday.

Reflections from the Masters

I haven't shown a golf course shot for awhile, the main reason is typically I'm too busy with my golf shots to think about camera shots! But another reason is the photos never seem to come out as pretty as what I've actually seen. I rather like this reflective pond from the Lionhead Masters course though. You can see all the shades of summer green and you even get a bonus reflection on some of them! 

Hope you're having a nice green weekend wherever you are. For more reflections, check out Weekend Reflections.

The skywheel

I've never actually been on the Skywheel, but it looks like a fun way to see Niagara Falls. Maybe the next time we have visitors, we'll insist on taking this ride. 

Happy Friday! Hope your skies are blue, wherever you are. If you'd like to see more skies from around the world, visit Skywatch.

Fancy corner

I love looking up! You never know what you might see, like these wonderful architectural details on a building downtown near the Saint Lawrence market.

Old sign

I don't know if this sign is original, but I found it inside the Old City Hall of Toronto. It's now a court building, so photos aren't really allowed inside, but since this was the top floor near the lifts, I didn't think I'd get caught. And I took it with my iPhone, I'm such a rebel!

Sweet ones

 

A pair of touching memorials from the Hamilton Cemetery to young lives lost. I imagine that Daisy and Francis were sweet babies and dearly missed by their parents. For more cemetery shots, visit Taphophile Tragics.

Sunny days

I love it when people get creative with things like a transformer box. These wonderful bright sunflowers make this utilitarian piece of urban landscape look so much better. This one was signed by artist Bruni Nielsen. Apparently flowers are her specialty and I think she does a great job with them.

It's Monday again! For more murals, take a look at Mural Mondays.

Canadian spirit

Looking back through some of my photos from this summer, I realize there are quite a few that I have neglected to showcase. Like this display of Canadian pride at the Yorkdale shopping mall. I believe it was in honour of the Olympics, although by the end Canada only came home with one gold. That's certainly something to be proud of though!

Downsview reflections

Downsview Station is the very first or very last (depending on how you look at it) station on the Yonge - University line, or as I like to call it the west side of the yellow U. I live about ten minutes walk from this station and when I go downtown during the week, I usually use the subway. Sadly, I don't get downtown as much these days due to my job. But I guess we all have our priorities.
