A row of black metal benches whose occupants are autumn leaves instead of their usual human or canine visitors. Each bench has at least one - and sometimes half a dozen or more - brown or golden leaves scattered on them from trees above that have begun to lose their leaves. My spouse joked that the leaves must be waiting for a bus or something! I wonder where leaves would go if they had legs? Behind the benches you can see various hardy flowers growing in a concrete planter. The flowers are yellow or red. I think they’re marigolds but am not entirely sure that is correct. Behind the flowers you can see the large windows of a building. I think there was a coffee shop and some offices on that ground floor. In front of the benches you can see a concrete sidewalk that is also littered with a few dozen leaves. The concrete looks slightly damp and dirty because it rained the day I took this photo and sidewalks are rarely scrubbed in Toronto.
