Early morning pit stop at the market. Some say Apples are good for you. Yes indeed!
Apple Store, Eaton Centre
Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
A few interesting facts about apples; “The old adage that an apple a day keeps the doctor away may be a silly rhyme you heard as a kid, but you might be surprised to learn of the serious health benefits that apples offer”. Follow the link for facts, info and credit.

Thanks for stoppin’ by. I wish you a wonderful first day of Spring. Enjoy! ... and don’t forget to have an apple.
The Dark Knight Rises!
There’s always something going on at Dundas Square and on this particular day, the Batmobile took centre stage. What an awesome mechanical creation, especially designed for the king of crime fighters and on display just in time for the latest installment of The Dark Knight series. It certainly attracted a crowd.
The specs are impressive. Designed and built by renowned fabricator George Barris, it features a custom crafted body, bullet proof glass, six monster tires and every imaginable gizmo under the sun to assure that all obstacles are overcome and Batman arrives at his destination to apprehend the bad guys. Cool!

A collision course between an old TTC PPC streetcar and the present ALRV Streetcar which is soon to be replaced by the new TTC LRV 4401.
Yonge–Dundas Square, or Dundas Square is a public square at the southeast corner of the intersection of Yonge Street and Dundas Street East in Downtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Designed by Brown and Storey Architects, the square was conceived in 1997 as part of revitalizing the intersection.[2][3] Since its completion in 2002, the square has hosted many public events, performances and art displays, establishing itself as a prominent landmark in Toronto and one of the city's prime tourist attractions. Central to the Downtown Yonge entertainment and shopping district, the square is owned by the city and is the first public square in Canada to be maintained through a public–private partnership.[4] The intersection is one of the busiest in Canada, with over 100,000 people crossing the city's first pedestrian scramble daily.[5][6][7]
Surrounding the square are other major landmarks, including the Toronto Eaton Centre, Ed Mirvish Theatre, and the Citytv building. The square is accessible from the Toronto subway at Dundas station and is connected to Path, Toronto's underground pedestrian walkway. The square is continuously illuminated by large billboard screens and corporate logos, which has led to comparison of the square with Times Square in New York City, Shibuya Crossing in Tokyo, and Piccadilly Circus in London.[8][9]
A very entertaining busker at the corner of Yonge & Dundas.

I was preparing another series of pics to post, of Liverpool (and hackney cabs) but this morning I realised that I was starting to miss people in my photographic life, that I hadn't been out shooting street candids for awhile & that felt like a loss. So I put on my coat & headed over to Yonge Street, Toronto's main drag that runs through the centre of downtown. There she was. Outside the Eaton Centre. Her flamboyant 'look at me' hair & oversized earrings & sunglasses seeming in direct conflict with her unassuming demeanour. Got 2 clicks. She saw me on the second one. Her expression didn't change. I felt I knew her.
And there he was. The guy in the white suit. A fixture outside the Eaton Centre on any given day of the year, it seems. Perhaps not in the worst weather but today felt like summer, 16*C on March 7th. A record breaker. There he was. Wearing the inevitable white pin-striped suit. And hat. And white casual loafers. Every item of 'whiteness' always impeccably clean & well maintained. He always carries an ornate cane. A prop, I believe, that he leans on a lot, in measured poses. Multiple gold rings. Sometimes I get the sense he's holding public court. A self-appointed prince among the serfs. He's most often alone, no matter how much buzz is going on around him, the Eaton Centre at Yonge & Dundas being a primary hub of downtown Toronto, always lots of street theatre happening. That he was engaged in animated conversation with someone today is somewhat of a rarity. What is he doing there, in exactly the same spot every day, his fashion statement never changing? I suppose I could ask him....but then there's the possibility reality may not be as intriguing as the mystery *~*
Acclaimed First Nations musician/songwriter/activist, Buffy Sainte-Marie, performed at Toronto's outdoor Dundas Square last night, a free concert presented by Thunderbird Aboriginal Arts Centre. Fabulous!! At 70 years of age, the talented '60's Canadian icon seethed with energy (she played for close to 2 hours non-stop) , passion & generosity of spirit. Playing guitar & keyboard with her band, she offered all her greats, including the Academy Award winning "Up Where We Belong ( a huge hit for Joe Cocker & Jennifer Warrens on the soundtrack of the movie "An Officer & a Gentleman), the powerful "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee" & 'Universal Soldier' the anti- war song that got her black-listed from the US airwaves in the '70's for being ' too radical'. She's back! Big time! In the midst of a world tour, gathering accolades from both press & fans, and her message for peace & a kinder world stronger than ever. Thank you, Buffy!!
