Saw three red-tailed hawks today. The thaw in the weather, with the first day above zero, how brought out the raptures. #Toronto #hawk #nature #birds #birding

My local hardware store is running out of road salt because of the big winter storm. Now they have pool salt at the front entrance. #Toronto #snowstorm #snow #hack

Woke up this morning to see a rabbit hopping down the street. I have no idea how it makes it in midtown Toronto Half a meter of snow, a month of below freezing temperatures, dog walkers, and red-tail hawks all around here. I think I've seen him in the summer once. #Toronto #nature #urban #rabbit

A building shoved all of its parking lot snow onto the sidewalk, making it impassable. Elderly people with walkers are being forced to walk along the road. https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/776131653 #Toronto #snow

Highway 35, #Ontario. Always like to see the ice coming out from the rock cut along the highway. Freshly ploughed from the snowfall yesterday.

Helping out at the local bike cooperative Bike Pirates. Someone was working on this old Raleigh Sports, changing out the bearings of the front hub. Cool old vintage dynohub on it. #Toronto #bike #bicycling #bicycle #vintage #biketooter

I was at Bike Pirates, a local Toronto bike cooperative. There was a vintage Raleigh Sports being worked on. Figured I'd put my meter onto this old Dynohub. Manged to get almost half a volt from a light spin of the front wheel. Not bad for a 50 year old dyno […] [Original post on mstdn.ca]

Garbage day, black ice covered by fresh snow, and sidewalks that are too narrow and have too much of a slope. It wasn't a fun walk. #Toronto

Old steel frame sadly off to the the scrap yard. Too dented to save. Does anybody know some history about LE CIRCUIT, Rally? Volunteered at Bike Pirates, to strip off the better parts. #Toronto #cycling #bike #bicycles #bicycle

Victorians loved colour. Today everything is grey or white. Maybe one day colour will come back. Some pictures of old Victorian houses that still preserve some of the old colour. From a recent walk around downtown Toronto. #Toronto #history

There are still some interesting neighbourhoods in Toronto. This is from Silverthorn Ave., in the west end. I like to see uniqueness in the city. Here someone made different bird houses and a custom weather vane. I like that one of the bird houses uses old desk […] [Original post on mstdn.ca]

Haven't had a robin in the backyard for some time. This morning I had two. I'm putting out fresh water and the birds appreciate it, since everything else is frozen. #birds #bird

Walked along the Beltline trail in Toronto a few days ago. Here is a picture of Davisville subway station with nice vintage signage. I do like the old TTC livery, nicer shades of yellow, red and nice fonts. #Toronto #TTC #transit
