I grew up with red brick houses.
Had I been born on the Prairies, I suppose I would not have had the exposure to the warmth and regular patterns of brick walls. Brick is rare out there.
New home construction these days uses almost no brick, opting instead for other materials. The brick facade (front wall brick, the rest siding) seen on some houses is the ultimate in fraudulent design.
Is brick laying a dying art?

The kids who gardened in Sweetman’s Garden this summer have a sense of humour…
…and artistic ability as well!
Were I a rabbit, I’d certainly take advantage!

This guy is living on the wall of one of the alleys here.

A sunny day today and so with some cloud in the sky we make another visit to Ice Follies on Lake Nipissing.
Filed under Photographs
On the ice of Lake Nipissing is an intriguing exhibition of structures and installation art. Several interesting pieces stand in the sun, wind, snow, cold, dark, to provide messages and analyses of our world.
See: THIS LINK for more.
For description of the works and the artists see: ICE FOLLIES
Neat way to spend an afternoon!
