hard to believe the one below was less than 10 feet from the other

Lucy and Decarie NW

at lunch - Tuesday July 24

back to the infamous location

Lachute find

Sunday July 22

on the way to a 30th anniversary party 

Isabella and Dufferin SE

going home - Thursday July 19

Walked my bike home today - took the most direct route and was surprised to come across this one

Jacques Grenier and Decarie SW

at lunch - Thursday July 19

another on this side of Decarie proving my theory that they don't look like that they belong to anyone

Connaught and West Broadway NW

going home  - Wednesday July 18

from the archives at the same location

Cote St Luc and Randall NE

going home - Wednesday July 17

below  from the archives a red couch on a lawn ( but not unwanted as I took the photo at the Shelbourne Museum)

Mountain Sights and Cote St Catherine NW

at lunch - Wednesday July 18

here are some incredibly difficult lighting conditions with taking photos of unwanted couches. A bit like weddings with the black blacks and white whites; the extra problem I have is that I can't ask them to move.

below a different version taken Tuesday July 23 ( I guess some of the people who put the couches in the garbage trucks are on holiday!)

Rosedale and Fielding NW

going home - Tuesday July 17

my son gave me a drive home and he understands my sickness and graciously stopped to let me take this photo

Orphelinat and Cote St Luc NW

Going to work - Tuesday July 17

Had to take the bus to work this morning as my pedal fell off my bike. I had seen a couch at Decarie and Cote St. Luc the night before from the bus; so I went back to look, but it was gone. I was unlucky - when I saw this one.

Cumberland and Fielding SW

going to work - Monday July 16

I just remembered that I would have passed this house every day on my way to grade school at Saint Monica's

Connaught and Patricia SW

going home - Thursday July 12

liked how the two couches echoed the two doors of the building

a couple of days later in a different configuration

Randall and Fielding NE

going home - Thursday July 12

Decarie and Cote-St. Luc NW

at lunch - Thursday July 12

one from the same location (and feel) from Canada Day 2011

Westhill and Fielding NW

going to work - Wednesday, July 11

the only ones of the day - 3 at the same location ( can't figure out what happens to some of these couches on the way to the garbage)

West Broadway and Terrebonne NW

Going home - Tuesday July 10 

really an armchair not a sofa or couch (I was told by an instagr.am friend) Now I have to hash tag this photo with #armchairfree rather than #sofafree

Carseats

My first year of taking photos of unwanted couches I treated car benches as legitimate photos for inclusion in the project. I no longer do - but I have had a few in the last few days. I never have seen so many at one spot. You can see the couch I posted a few days ago now accompanied.

and yet another I have added (an older style)

Hingston and Cote-St. Luc SW

going to work - Tuesday July 10

I was lured down Randall (and rather than turn back I biked along Cote St Luc) and it seems that these detours always become successful.

Randall and Cote-St. Luc NW

Photographed my first couch here a few days ago - and now there were three right beside each other....fits with my multiple couch theory

Montclair and Fielding NW and NE below

Going home - Monday July 9

sometimes I don't get my bike out of the picture

Montclair and Fielding NE

I am often mentioning that the couches are only on the side of the road for a few hours - then for some reason a couple stay around for a while (what did they do to piss off the garbage men?) 

I do like how their formation changed

going home - Thursday July 5

coming home - Monday July 9

going to work - Thursday July 12

(and it was still there in the evening)

Decarie and Snowdon NE

at lunch - Monday July 9 

usually the photos are on the other side of Decarie - when on this side of Decarie they don't seem to be attached to any house in particular

Queen Mary and Transisland Sw

at lunch Monday July 9

Not a classic chesterfield; but it does meet the definition that the arms are at the same height as the back of the couch ( They may have to be rounded?!)

Transisland and Cote St. Catherine NE

at lunch - Monday July 9

(will post two a day for a few days again)

Elmhurst and St. Jacques NE

Going to work PM / home?  Thursday July 5

For all those people plotting my photos on a map - you may be wondering why I am at this corner. It was on my way to a client for an evening meeting; the company location is just a little past my house.

Coolbrook and Snowdon NW

at lunch - Thursday July 5

(it did have cushions at one time - I often see cushions and wait for the couch to appear and never have it come - this was the opposite situation)

Cote St. Luc and Snowdon NW

at lunch - Thursday July 5 

(I wonder where the rest of sectional is?)

one from the archives at this spot in this winter - just before I started the blog

Decarie and Snowdon SW

at lunch - Thursday July 5 (two within 20 meters of each other)
