Possibly the best frog, ever, this is by Bruno Smoky on a garage door.
I want one!
As promised, here is the “Squirrel Bonus”!

Those toad’s are high maintenance….
TY, Chris!
Not a problem!
Everything is fine here, except I just think the Frogian has an issue with its right eyeball. Solutions?
Well… my left eyeball is a bit of a disaster.
Solution: Eye drops, solar shields or cataract surgery.
Yay for frog and squirrel bonus (so cute)! As always, your title is impeccable. xoxoxo
Thank you re: the title! It They are so very cute! xoxoxo
A masterpiece of whimsy. Such a talented artist! Love the squirrel too but I’m just blown away by all he beautiful colors and the beautiful flowers and delightful frog. Great shots Resa. ♥️
Whimsy…. what a fab word for this.It also describes Bruno’s work in general. I heard about this garage door, and vowed to find it! I knew the general area. 3 hours, and 2 sore feet later, BINGO! Ribbit! Ribbit! 🐸❤️🐸
Wow! What fun. Love the colors and how wonderful to come home to that every night.
Wish I had a garage! xoxo
That is fantastic and so much better looking than a plain old garage door. And the Squirrel Nutkin bonus is wonderful.
Aww, Squirrel Nutkin! You named him/her. You are so adorable. You must be a cat person.
Getting your garage door painted is a big thing in Toronto. I hope it keeps on growing!
Did you read “The Tale of Squirrel Nutkin” by Beatrix Potter when you were younger? It’s a wonderful story.
No, but I know of Beatrice Potter. I’ll put it on my list, but I’m rereading Alice in Wonderland as soon as I can. It’s for an Art Gown project! Thank you Timothy! 😀
Alice in wonderland is great. I think you would enjoy Beatrice Potter’s stories. You could probably get some good Art Gown ideas out of them. One of my favorite quotes that I use a lot having a house full of cats is from “The Tale of Samuel Whiskers”: “All over the house! The rats are too many for me. What a thing it is to have an unruly family!” said Mrs. Tabitha Twitchit.
A lot of character in that frog. He is cool. 😉
🐸RIBBIT! 🐸
Resa,
You photograph the most interesting mural. The way you photograph them brings the images to life. I would love a handpainted mural on my garage door. Great photographs …
Isadora 😎
Thanks, Isadora! It just doesn’t seem like enough to take 1 shot, and that’s that. I get a thrill when I see Street art that speaks to me, and I’m trying to share the experience. Resa 🙃
Too, too sweet, Resa; both Frog and Squirrel… 🙂
I just thought – Wouldn’t it be cool to have hand painted murals such as these on the garage door/s. They could be changed to whatever you wanted, if you ever became bored with them!
Hmmmm…. 🙂
Hope you little peepers are OK.. 🙂
xoxoxo
Ah, a new commercial idea for garage doors. 😀 Interesting! 😀 Peepers are on the mend! It’s a new way of seeing, and there will be a couple of months of adjustment. Basically it means I can’t legally drive until the adjustment period is over. I don’t care about driving! I can draw, sew and read. YAY! 😀 xoxoxo
Yay, and Yay again; that must feel great.. 🙂
xoxoxo

Oh I so so love that Frog… And his charm I am sure could turn him into a Prince.. 🙂
Sending LOVE and Hugs your way Resa.. And the Squirrel so cleverly created to use the main colour for his body of the brick work.. Excellent art.. 🙂
Agree! Hmm, perhaps I should have kissed the frog while I was there? Darn, another missed opportunity! 😀 😜
haha.. ❤
I can see why you want this frog! An outstanding mural. Vibrant but not edgy. But, frog and squirrel doesn’t seem as right as moose and squirrel. 😉
I see your point, Frank. Honestly, there was not a moose to be found. 🦌&🐿I tried to find moose and squirrel emojis, but deer and chipmunk were the best I could come up with! 😀
… and that’s OK … although we know that Moose & Squirrel hold special places of honor.
Great find dear Resa. Must hop along now 🐸🤴🤗💖 xoxoxo
🐸RIBBIT! 🐸xoxoxo!
Your headline is fantastic too, Resa! Amazing images as ever. Thank you for sharing, and have a great week ahead. Michael
TY, Michael, and you have a fab week, yourself! -Resa
Thank you too, Resa! :-))
I just love frogs and want this on a wall of my house someday!!!
You have good taste, Janaline!!!
Prince Charming waiting for his princess? You always come across the most original and appealing art.
You’re right. One of the greatest frogs ever!
Yes, I knew it!!!!!!
