More Interesting And Funny Sights

Last October I posted a few photos of funny sights around the neighbourhood and, if you like, you can see it again here.  

In the months following that post, I have found a few more things to show you. :-)



After a surprise snowfall following warm, beautiful weather, someone decided to write "love" and not a more likely four-letter word!


I often see these fellows in their windows (that is one house) but I much prefer to see them out enjoying a walk.


I passed by a construction site one day and a large metal container had this design on the side.  I found it compelling for some reason.


This wall mural appeared one day and although I can't condone graffiti, I thought it was beautiful (not sure about those fangs though) and it reminded me of primitive canyon wall art that I've seen in the American South-West.


This appeared on top of a large boulder just next to a playground behind a day-care center.  I believe it is meant to be a dragon due to the pointed foil spines (triangles) on the head.


This is a friend of the dragon and sits beside him.  I love his expression.


What a perfect use for the field posts on an unused football field!  Social distancing creativity at its best!


On the subject of hammocks, this seems ideal for a bird tired out after all that migrating!


Important note:  regarding the photo above, all masks should have their ear loops removed (two quick tugs work fine) and then all parts should be placed in a closed garbage bin. (The ear loops have been known to entangle wildlife.)

Interesting and Funny Sights in the Neighbourhood

During these serious times, it is important to find some humour where we can.  So here are some interesting sights that I have come across during my neighbourhood outings. (Captions are below each image).



A novel way to social distance. (Student on a college campus)


This is a fire hydrant just outside my apartment building on which someone put a Provigo (supermarket) shirt.  One dark evening, with no working streetlight, I mistook it for a kneeling person and talked to it.  It did not answer me ...


On the back of a parked car.  I love this!


I'm not sure what is the story of this little, forlorn looking guy.  He is sitting outside the doors of a closed day-care center.  He sat there overnight and was gone the next day when the center opened.



Now this was a surprise! Our weather has been unseasonably warm so this fellow was not the result of a freak snowstorm but was actually "snow" scraped off a local indoor hockey rink and dumped at the edge of a parking lot.  I have to confess that I was the one to give him eyes and a smile. :-)


Now here is a very strange creature that has been spotted prowling about!  You probably guessed that it is the blogger herself - all decked out in a ball cap to hide my gray roots, sunglasses to protect my eyes and a "raccoon" mask to protect from COVID-19!
