Wolseley Avenue

Today inspired by the sight of practicing football players last week, I decided to go past the Stadium. No luck. My consolation prize was this tree that looked like an angry dear.

Also this very photogenic squirrel. . . . now named Murry!!

He would scurry up the tree when I had my camera down but would pose when I brought my camera to my face!!

I also found Miles. . . . Well not Miles the cat but a poster of Miles the cat. Love the moustache. I hope he gets found!!

(sorry about the sideway photo I am working out the kinks)

I decided to walk down Wolseley, specifically Raglan because of the history (here).

This journal has made me open my eyes to the space around me. At the very end of Dominion was a river side park. While I was there I felt I was in my own private garden. Probaly crawling with locals on any day other than Tuesday morning!!

I was walking up the hill back to the street and found this message written a bench "Though my soul may set in darkness, it will rise in perfect light, I have loved the stars to fondly to be fearful of the night." _. _. _______. I looked it up and it looks like it was written by a woman named Sarah Williams. Also is a picture of a rabbit holding what I figure is a ninja star. His name was Robbie Rabbit, Ninja Robot.

Plus all the random art littered throughout Wolsely was also pretty cool.

I hope this is true. . . .

Sargent Avenue

I started walking to work about 2 months ago. One day I was passing this mural on Sargent Ave and Home St. Some person had vandalized the picture with paint (here). I thought it was a shame, since it is such a beautiful, carefree painting. I then decided I wanted to bring a camera on my walks to photo document my journey.

I also have the worst memory in the world so I also wanted to document my journey so I would remember it!!

Beautiful Day for a walk (Sargent Ave at Wall St). Near the West End Library (Cindy Klassen Recreational Complex).


These are the soldiers who quietly guard Valour Rd.





The West end is known for its murals. . . . and there was no shortage along Sargent Ave. These were some of my favorites. . . . Ok the so the last one is not a favorite but you may also notice the hooker in the picture. She was working before 8:30 am!!

Found outside the Knox Church (Qu'appelle Ave at Edmonton St)

Found this bike near Qu'appelle Ave and (I believe) Carlton St.


There were two notable stories I did not get in photo form. I was a man on a scooter with his glasses half way down his face, and swerving. I realized he was trying to answer his phone. Slightly ridiculous.

The next as I was taking photos of the Jack Layton memorial, I saw a woman in my peripheral vision. I moved back and glanced over, she was in a mobility scooter. I looked again and saw her holding a Second Cup cup, while steering with her wrist, and had a small child on the floor of the cart between her legs. I really wanted that picture, but I did not get. :(
