This is just a red bike that I saw locked up on the street. I thought it looked kind of funny there all by itself, so I snapped a quick picture of it. I think the red and gray look particularly good together.

While I usually walk by these two buildings quite a bit, the sky made them both look really purple on this particular day. I took this walking back from the Toronto Circus Festival.

This parking cone was sitting on the street near the park across the street from my building. There’s a lot of clay in the ground here, and all the construction sites (there are lots of condos going up around here) tend to dig up a bunch of clay.

So naturally everything (including your shoes) tends to get covered in clay — just like this orange parking cone (which kind of looks a bit like an eye in the middle for some reason).

This guy was a performer at the Toronto Circus Festival — and he looks especially tall with the little girl in the pink standing to his left. And no, he’s not juggling a tiny bird. Thanks to this guy for tipping us off to the aerial show that was going on in the building behind him.

I couldn’t remember if I took this on the way to or the way back from the circus festival (so I put it before the circus festival pictures). I’ve never really noticed these flowers before, but they seem to be all over the place in Toronto. Perhaps I’m more observant when I have a camera.

This fence keeps people out of yet another construction site near my apartment building. It was really sunny that day, making the fence kind of shiny (of course, it was covered in clay as well). I like the symmetry in this picture.

These tulips are in the park across the street from my building (I think they actually belong to another building that is on the other side of the park). I was really impressed with the D60′s ability to capture colours exactly as they look — my old point-and-shoot always made things look kind of pastel.

There’s a construction crew building a new building beside mine, and this is their dumpster full of wood. As you can see, there’s clay all over the dumpster (see my orange parking cone picture for an explanation). I like this picture because everything looks blocky and rectangular, except for that orange and black parking cone.

Creepy as this is, it’s actually the hallway outside my apartment door. They recently changed all the natural-light bulbs to these ultra-bright fluorescent ones that make everything look insanely bright and unnatural. More light is not always a good thing.
