I found stone roses. I thought of Holly – House of Heart
They are on the same wall where I found “A Long Stemmed Rose for Holly.
The rose must have spilled seeds.
The seeds of love scattered,
and have grown on,
into a Stone Rose garden.
Like Holly’s poems, it’s lush and inviting.
It’s a beautiful happening!
The roses grow right out of the cement curb.
I wonder what will be here next time I pass by?

When I found this eagle I thought:
AH, a simple post… I’ll dedicate it to my nature pal Tim
….and maybe my pal Cindy who said she saw more Bald eagles in Canada than the USA.
I sure hope this is an eagle!
In my world, I see more nature in alleys, than anywhere else.

“God Speed Mother Nature, I never really wanted to say goodbye”
A song of warning from 50 years ago.
I’m in tears.
On a more reflective image:
Eagle drives the car
Starting with the eyes would be more logical, but I love these lips.
Found her in an alley in Kensington Market.
Was all giddy and happy when I did.
Amazing how a pretty piece of wall art can make my day.
Fortunately, the tagger didn’t annihilate the beauty.

An odd, gorgeous find in the alley.
You can see how beautiful this painting is.
Yes, that’s a heat lamp obstructing a full on shot.
Turns out this bird is under a makeshift …. car port, thing. I figure with the heat lamp, they bring out a table and chairs.
There was no sign saying I couldn’t enter the space, so I just took my pics.

The artist is unknown to me.
From this angle, you can see that it is painted on plywood.
I just had to go to Graffiti Alley yesterday. I was wondering if any of the artists were showing their support for Ukraine with their art. I found this by nick_sweetman
Nick says on his Instagram account:
“We chose the colours of the Ukranian flag and wrote “Putin idy nakhuy” which in Ukranian means “Putin, go fuck yourself” sung by Ukraine’s national animal, the nightingale. Letters by @mr_tensoe2 @twice.born and @workingspy3000 who also painted the white dove of peace 🕊”
A look at the alley.
Graffiti Alley is a large network of lanes and alleys. I continued on my way.
…and found this painted paste-up, which was obviously purposely wrinkled up in the gluing.
Say it again!
I found a Great Blue Heron, on a garage door.
It’s one of the pterodactyl’s relatives, a great blue heron. The great blue heron is the largest heron in North America.
I’ve never seen one in real life.
However, I have seen many on Tim’s blog. Check out Tim’s night shot of one of these Blue Beauties wading in water.
Tim’s blog – Off Center Not Even is resplendent with nature’s beauty. He’s got magic trees, owls, biblical skies and more. I can’t thank him enough for allowing me to use many of his stunning photos.

The Artist is unknown. The door was unsigned when I found it.
I never know where I’m going, ’til I get there.
I never know if I’m going ’til I’m gone.
Walked into an alley in Chinatown
…and found
…this beauty!
A few years old, and a bit chipped up, she is nonetheless a beacon amid the hoi polloi of alley art.
