What A Garage!


There is a house in the Seaton Village neighbourhood (which is right beside the Annex neighbourhood) that is almost totally decorated with bits of wood attached to it. This is the garage belonging to that house and all that patterning is made by shells that have been glued on to it. The only part not shells is the section below the roof that has small bits of wood. The interesting thing is that no one ever seems to vandalize this place. I'll show another view of it tomorrow.

Escape


I'm not really overly familiar with escape rooms but apparently this place has several  different kinds. Sometimes the idea of a place to escape to sounds better than escaping from. A quiet relaxing place would do the trick.

A Different Laneway Sighting


 Not all the garages and buildings in our laneways are painted with lovely murals as this door shows you but I find something intriguing about it. You wonder why there would be such a door on a laneway running through a residential area. Was there a small business operating here years ago? A mystery?

A Vanouver Sunset


 I spotted another fine mural by Nick Sweetman as I wandered down one of my local laneways. His work is always so well done and this one shows the Lions Gate Bridge in Vancouver at its best. The mountains on the far side of the water are known as the Lions so hence the name of the bridge.

A House For Bats


 I haven't seen very many of these bat houses but apparently they really work and the little guys seem to like them. And the bonus is the bats help to keep the mosquitoes in check at night.

They're Back!


We had a  few tough Robins that stayed here all winter but most of them head south. The past couple of weeks the snowbirds have been arriving back in town and it is not unusual to see large groups of them foraging in the parks. On a coolish morning this one was soaking up the sun and quite enjoying it, I think, since it stayed on this branch for at least 10 minutes. It's good to hear them singing again.

An Addition


I vaguely remember when the white building on this corner was for sale and it had parking behind it.  It sold and then the large grey addition appeared with its great red doors. I rather like the contrast between the two halves of the structure. You can see that it is beside the laundromat that I showed you a week ago. The white building was a store but looks like it has been converted to residential.
