I found this on March, 9. It was the last time I rode the subway.
I look forward to the day I can venture out into another area of the city, but I’m not willing to risk public transportation at this time.
The parts with the eyes are. fabulous.

This sweet mural by Nick Sweetman, is an awareness tribute,
… to some of the most important pollinators on our planet.
The mural turns 3 corners. I will do my best to show it left to right. The above shot was taken from across the street. Cars, vans, trucks and busses dominated 19 of the 20 shots I took.
I used pano for this. It captures the zig-zag of the 3 walls.
I did a sideways pano for the above pic.
Spring is 4 weeks away!
The car wasn’t much of a problem, 
.. and I grabbed a couple of window reflection shots.

I heard of an interesting mural. When I got there, the building was torn down, & new construction underway.
I wandered lonely as a cloud, through high-rises and their lanes.
I turned into a parking lot, and found art performance fame.
High-rises, and the areas they are located in, are not prime street art venues.
Look how high up (about 18 stories) & huge this beauty is!
Did the best I could with my Iphone camera.
Two days later, and I’m still feeling the find.

The Artist is unknown to me, at this time.
This mural looks freshly done, so a plaque might be going up soon.
Direct from Manchester, UK; courtesy of Alex Morris via Professional Moron is this fabulous wall art of a Blue Tit, by Sarah Yates.
“This piece was commissioned in 2011 by Converse as part of the Wall to Wall project. Sarah Yates is an illustrator focusing on topics of environmental awareness. She is well known for mixing graffiti with graphic design and taking inspiration from nature, especially from birds, which are her favourite subjects, as we can see in this large-scale mural depicting a large blue tit.”
As a thank you to Alex, I present this garage door art of Arnold Schwarzenegger.
I find the piece quite humorous, indeed.
If you have ever been to the Professional Moron blog, you will see that humour reigns supreme, which makes this the most apt thank you.
Of course it’s not all fun, much of which can involve Arnie & other famous personalities. Alex does fab book reviews, movie reviews and game reviews.
🌼Humungous thank you’s to Alex for the Blue Tit!🌼

A new Indigenous inspired mural, by Philip Cote, graces my hood; the Village of Roncesvalles.
A new to me song, by Buffy Saint Marie & throat singer Tanya Tagaq, graces my spirit. You Got To Run (Spirit Of The Wind) is the most powerful song I’ve ever heard.
I’M BLOWN AWAY
You could listen while perusing the rest of the mural, but I doubt you will be able to take your focus off of the intense performances. 
Here are some of the murals hi-lights.
Philip Cote says about the mural “I am here doing a Sundance song to honour the ancestors and recognize where I come from”
Roncesvalles was originally settled by Colonel Walter O’Hara in 1850. O’Hara (Irish), a soldier in the British army was captured by the French in the Roncesvalles Gorge in Spain; hence the name Roncesvalles.

Buffy, a multi-media artist, rose to prominence in the late 60’s, with the folk music movement. However, once she began using her voice to support native causes, her songs were censored in the USA, and yanked from playlists.
Someone said (paraphrasing) It’s amazing how afraid powerful men in suits are, of a girl with a guitar.
