strathcona:: tree shadows

On this first warm sunny day of spring [finally!] I went in search of some fitfully artful tree shadows - and other ephemeral exuberances...
Zig-zagging through the old Strathcona neighbourhood on my bike, the flower buds were literally popping open by the minute in the bright sunshine and the abstract sillhouettes of the still leafless tree branches shifted coyly with the sun - a profusion of intricate skiagrams on textured walls and painted surfaces, animating the quaintly charming houses on these most tranquil of inner city streets...






The ethereal blue dome of the Russian Orthodox church on Campbell Street merges with a clear blue sky through a veil of darkly lacing branches and a cascade of fresh spring foliage...

The first blossoms burst into bloom on this old cherry tree and the soft pink petals riff off the fading pink portico of this building on Keefer Street...
