East York nature photographer Colin Mcconnell’s latest post has birds and butterflies he’s snapped on walks with his pooch. Top right, you’re looking at the new stairs into the Leaside LRT Station. It may not be a stairway to paradise, but millions will shortly tromp up and down here. At centre right we see the new wine bar and bottle shop opening in 1560 Bayview Ave at Belsize Dr. Welcome, The Daughter. At lower left is Marnie trying out the three new picnic tables at Leaside United Church. Note that there is wheelchair access. Lower right, Leaside Leafs slugger Sam Brown is lending his power bat technique to Guelph Gryphon Baseball this season. Out of the park Sam.
