Street Sights

1 December 2017 – Well, there’s the pavement, of course.

But the pavement has plenty of companions, to keep it from feeling all lonely & dull.

Ground-hugging toadstools (genus Ventilationii), for example ..

and up-thrust daisies (same genus) …

crows on wires (real & faux) …

and leapin’ lemurs …

a kaleidoscope moose …

and a high-flying toro …

a beating heart …

a cryptic message from the heavens …

and the gentle protection, we hope …

of a guiding spirit right here in the neighbourhood.

      Sorry, so belated! I’m glad you’re enjoying the blog. Much lover to you, & the other Island alumni. How special that place was, for us all.

    You sure have a keen eye for the quirky little details Penny, and a knack for capturing them. Plus Vancouver sure has a lot of little quirks!
