More "Colour" in my Life!

I have been frequenting downtown Oshawa lately because my community care clients have had appointments at the Oshawa Clinic. While I wait for them, I have been exploring the Oshawa that has been long forgotten. New life is blossoming in this diverse community. My most favourite place is Isabellas Chocolate Cafe!

This morning, I stopped in for a fair trade, Ethiopian, smooth, black coffee. As I entered, a blind lady was sitting to the left of the door, taking a puff of her strong -scented cigarette. She fascinated me. I couldn't resist taking her picture with my zoom. The picture is a bit blurry but you are still able to see why she fascinated me. With eyes closed, slowly she savoured every inhalation of her fag until it was finished. She looked so content. So "colourful!" Sauntering along, I came upon this most DELIGHTFULLY DELICIOUS chair on display in the equally delightful shop called "Brush Strokes." (If you look close enough, you can see me in the mirrored reflection!) I still had a wee bit of time to explore this cool store...
...look what was calling out my name...
...AND, it was on sale! Definitely meant to come home with me!
