The bridge over the Niagara Parkway to Table Rock and fun attractions and shopping. 

In the distance you can see the Rainbow Bridge over the Niagara River to New York and cheap shopping.

Q is for QEW

The Queen Elizabeth Way is a highway that runs from the western boundary of Toronto to Niagara and ends at the Peace Bridge in Fort Erie (the bridge to USA)

The road runs in a east-west direction from Toronto to the centre of Burlington, then has a sudden left turn towards Niagara.

I have been intrigued by the changes in the signage. They were always blue on yellow with the trailblazers (the ones that say 'to') being yellow on blue. However, now it seems some are white on blue. For obvious reasons, I could not get a photo of the blue on yellow.

another view of the High Level Bridge on York St

the trees are still working on their leafing. 

I am enjoying PicMonkey (even more than Picnik!) and my favourite effect is 

Daguerrotype - Plumbe (top)

P is for Pier

and Promenade

at least the gulls get to enjoy the pier....

it is a prolonged, pathetic story about the Brant St Pier 

The top picture is from 2009, the middle one is 2010 and the bottom one is 2011. 

There is no change for 2012, though work has finally begun again to get it finished. Five years late. And many millions of dollars over budget.

click on the grey text above for a series of updates if you are interested.

Monday Mural

The West Plains Bistro has a courtyard patio with the most amazing mural. This is owned by a friend of mine whose husband did all the artwork. I will get more photos when the sun is not at the wrong angle.

WQW

The White Squirrel might want to beware of those two pigeons on the roof....

(and yes, there really is a white squirrel. 

just because I haven't seen him doesn't mean he doesn't exist. 

the city wouldn't name a street after something that doesn't exist, would it?)

the WQW on the top is for 'West Queen West'

in Toronto
