Reduce Reuse Recycle #4

The following photos are from A in the UK.

 It seems that London, England is into recycling also.

Re-using bags to help keep various foods fresh helps. Less waste.

Hanging clothes to dry. Although not pretty, it does help to reduce the amount of electricity needed to get laundry done.

An Enjoyable Street Scape 2

Using a Segway to get around at Toronto's Distillery District. It was once home to the Gooderham and Worts whiskey distillery.

Today, the former distillery area houses many shops, restaurants and galleries.

Great old cobble stone streets. The TV series Kung Fu The Legend Returns, starring David Carradine, along with numerous movies have been filmed in this location.

All these photos of a part of Toronto's history were taken by M.

An Enjoyable Street Scape 1

M of Toronto chose this theme.

The following photos were taken by D of Toronto.
Wellesley Street at Sherbourne.

Victoria Street in Lindsay Ontario. Although it may be hard to see, the central planting consists of alternating one tree with pinky flowers and one with white flowers. This is a wonderful way to divide a street.

Teeny Tiny 5

A in England's interpretation of teeny tiny.

These photos, from A in London, are of models from the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich.

Signs of Spring 5

A in England has been having camera problems and so that is the reason that these posts are a bit late. She is now playing catch-up.
Wisteria in London, England.

Another view of wisteria.

Spring plantings.

It would be nice to see these once they have grown in.

One last shot from A of Spring in London.
