The Forest Hills neighborhood was very kind to me this weekend. I’m not sure exactly what’s going on here – I think it’s a bird eating a turtle. But clearly it’s awesome…
At first glance I just thought this was a Christmas Tree with some ornaments on it, which would’ve been cool in and of itself. But then I saw a house had set up an extension cord for lights. I couldn’t stick around till it got dark but I bet it looks amazing all lit up. Props to French Street (between 9th and 10th in Shaw).
