While the temperatures may have dipped again, spring is definitely in the air. The birds are once again making themselves heard and I've seen more than one flying with a twig or a bit of fluff in their beak. So as a nod to all the busy avians out there, here's a pretty signal box painted by Sam Roe.

Cycling is Elemental

Over the summer, the concrete dividers that keep cyclists on the Richmond Street cycle track separated from cars are getting some special treatment. Organized by StreetARToronto, more than 125 different artists have been commissioned to paint the 300+ concrete barriers, creating what StART describes as a bikeable art gallery. Two sections, comprising the stretch between Parliament and University, have been completed to date. This particular section is the work of Sam Roe.
