Yes, great blue heron.

PHOTOS!

Gotta admit, you take really great pictures and you make KW look like a beautiful city. What kind of camera set-up do you have? What lens are you using?

Anyway, great work.

Thanks Jeffster, I do my best!

I have multiple cameras but most of the stuff you've seen here is with a Canon 6D. Same for lenses but mostly 17-40 (wide) 24-105 (general) and sometimes 70-200/140-400 (zoom).
Doesn't matter what camera you have these days IMO, you can can great shots with anything!

Plam - Interesting article! I'll have to check it out fully this week.

Mixed reviews for the Vogelsang/Cenotaph renos when I posted on my social media acts. I think Vogelsang is an improvement overall but those trees need to mature as it's a bit barren right now. The Cenotaph reno is great for the one or two days a year they hold ceremonies there but overall the loss of the mature trees was a mistake, I think.

Some Central Frederick in Winter - crazy that some of these homes could soon hit $1 million

It's a shame this pair got demolished recently. The neighbourhood shop bones are fairly rare, and could be converted back to a business in some cases. Hopefully someone does something useful with the lot soon.

Did a walkaround of The Rumpel Felt Co. building. The more I photograph it the more I think the newer section has some merit and could be reused, a least partially.

Kitchener’s own jellybean row!

[ac3r]

Colourful! Where is that?

Iinm, that’s the old row on Benton at St George. I’m surprised, as it’s only a few years ago that they were repainted.

Correct.

They were indeed repainted a very, very colourless taupe/grey.

This is now Curacao on Benton here!

Maybe the owner is channeling his inner St John’s. It would be fun if it inspired other owners in the neighbourhood to start adding bolder colours to their houses.

If only repaints were this colourful all the time. I don't recall that last repaint, so it must have been pretty dull. This looks pretty funky now.

Google Streetview shows a red brick row circa May 2015 and then taupe stucco in July 2019. There are no photos in between these dates. The fence along the sidewalk has also been upgraded to the metal pickets.

Thanks. Looks decent to me. The city needs more colourful houses like that.
