@arthurgron.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gySaw this in mid-town Toronto. Somebody got creative in their driveway to make a hanging garden.
Much better than just a barren driveway.
What should this type of structure be called?
@arthurgron.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gyLots of storm damage from several weeks ago, when the tornado like storm came through Toronto's west end.
Viewmount park has damage to a dozen 80 year old willow trees. The city hasn't even gotten to cleaning them up yet.
Some of the trees had large […]

@arthurgron.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gySquirrel eating the late harvest raspberries that are a little too cold weather damaged.
@arthurgron.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gyLot's of bird action today in the backyard;
a female cardinal, a kinglet, white crowned sparrow, a hairy woodpecker and a cooper's hawk!
It was a cold night, so the birds are looking around to see what feeders have some food.
This hawk has a really large […]
@arthurgron.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gySigns of autumn in the neighbourhood.
The ginkgo tree fruit is ready. The sugar maples are turn red.
@arthurgron.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gyCrab apples, a sign of the changing season.
I'm sure lots of the little critters around really like that these are ripe.
Many of these crab apple trees grow when people toss their apple cores, while walking.

@botany.oneReposted by @arthurgron.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gyThis is one study in one fen in the UK, but these are common European plants, and common European birds, so it’s reasonable to ask if this might be happening elsewhere too.

@arthurgron.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gyGoing to the allotment garden gives me the opportunity to take pictures. I then take too many of them.
Instead of having them languish on my hard-drive, I try to post them here.
With migration the turkey vultures are moving south, and passing over Toronto […]
@arthurgron.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gyI like this pictures, a song sparrow sitting on rebar.
This urban allotment gardens tend to accumulate lots of random material, that people use for building plant climbing structures and fences.
These little birds like to sit on reeds and sing, but some […]
@arthurgron.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gyBird on a large gauge wire. Mourning doves really like the allotment gardens.
The allotments I'm at are under the high capacity power lines. It's a large field. The freshly turned soil of individual plots, and cut grass at the park, attracts these birds […]
@arthurgron.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gyI was at the allotment garden today, it rained briefly for a few minutes.
Saw this white-throated sparrow sitting on the fence. It hung around and posed for a minute, for me.
It's migration season so I assume that everything is on the move.
Location […]
@arthurgron.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gySaw this Northern Mocking bird today at the allotment garden.
@arthurgron.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gyPicklefest was real good again this year. #Toronto
