Threatened Species

Last weekend a couple of boys were making this snowman right in the middle of the walkway to their home. He was still there when I returned a few days later with my sketchbook.

It's been sunny and cold - no wonder Snowy is smiling.  Lucky for him he's in shadow most of the day, because March is just days away and the weather has to break soon.

48/50 Second Avenue

In the Glebe neighbourhood there are five streets with numbers for names, they are referred to as "The Avenues".  Many have shared driveways and even if wholly on the property they are seldom very wide as the homes were built in the streetcar era, when most people did not have cars.

As I walk my friend and do my errands I always enjoy these glimpses into the heart of the blocks where large trees have been allowed to grow and the rear of homes tells the storey of incremental additions.
