Luxuriating in Ephemeral Art
I’ve been a big fan of Birdo for 4 years.
I’ve got at least 10 garage doors and other pieces I haven’t posted, yet.
However, this mural is really something special, as it is 5 stories high.
It is in a parking lot in the business area, so the only day for capturing it was Sunday. I don’t like getting up early on Sunday, but I did for this.

The Artist:
Carolee Croft has sent us Street Art from Sao Paulo, Brazil!
I love the man and cat interacting!
Carolee says: “If you’re interested in street art, Sao Paulo is the place to be.”
“These photos were taken around the area where I live, Vila Anglo Brasileira and Pompeia, very close to Vila Madalena, which is home to Beco de Batman (Batman Alley), a place visited by throngs of tourists for its famous graffiti”
I thought I’d do an almost bookends with the 2 different hummingbirds.
I say “almost” because the frog piece is jut too, cute!

⭐ THANK YOU, CAROLEE! ⭐
Carolee Croft is a Canadian writer currently living in Sao Paulo, Brazil. She writes novels that are in her own words “I hope not too naughty for your audience”. I find that a tad endearing coming from an admitted fan of Spongebob. You can find her books on Carolee’s Books on Amazon

From Alley 18
I’ve been back 4 times, and I can’t get a break regarding parked cars.
I did my best, but a full shot was hard come by, and there are a couple of faces I could not get at.

These 2 pieces painted side by side in Alley 18 could not be more different.
Side by side, each is its own.

Today, an Australian treat from Carolyn Page of ABC of Sprit Talk
“Look at the little crustacean. He has dollar notes in his shell..!!”
“and the little fish has dollar signs painted on it… I only discovered these when I zoomed in…. Don’t know the connection there; but think it’s worth a mention.”
This shark seems quite dapper in his elegant bow tie.
His shark pal sports a fancy jacket!
⭐ Thank you, Carolyn ⭐

“Just a little background on Newcastle:”
“Newcastle is a harbour city in the Australian state of New South Wales. Its plentiful beaches are linked by the Bathers Way, a coastal walk stretching between Nobbys Beach and Merewether Beach. The walk provides access to Bogey Hole, a convict-built ocean bath from the colonial period. Also on the path is the 1880s Fort Scratchley, a historic site and a viewpoint for spotting migrating whales.”
Although there are no whales on these boxes, Carolyn says:
“I’ve seen the migrating whales a couples of times. They are absolutely majestic! I especially love it when a mother and babe glide effortlessly, and seemingly slowly through the water. A brilliant sight.”
