This 1920’s historical mural is in Islington Village.
It depicts children fishing in Mimico Creek and the underwater wildlife that existed in the creek at that time.
I couldn’t get up onto that private balcony. (rats)
It was painted in 2012.
Find it at 5096 Dundas St. West.

This 16 year old mural on Henderson Hi-way is on the side wall of Roxy Lanes, a bowling alley.
It’s scarred, peeling & crumbling from the brutal winters. It’s constantly bleaching under the intense prairie sun. I love it.
I took these shots over a year ago. I wonder what it looks like now?

305 Bank Street – side wall of the oldest bike store in Ottawa, Canada.
I love Ottawa, and I love my blog pals. Many of you are bicycling enthusiasts. So if you visit Ottawa check out Foster’s Ottawa’s oldest bike shop.
Special Thanks to my Assistant Designer “Zena” (and her puppy) who drove me hither and yon to collect outdoor art.

I shot this mural of the history of North American Lumber twice within a 1 month period… trees green, and trees not green.
It was originally painted in 2000.
It was a challenge to capture.

“American Woman” was a huge hit, and “The Guess Who” was from Winnipeg. That was before Lenny Kravitz gave it new breath.
Not an official video, but I adore it. It is of the time.
This mural by Larry Rich graces an outer wall of the “Long and McQuade” store in Winnipeg. Here’s the rest of it.
Pictured above is Chad Allen who was the singer before Burton Cummings.
Aaand here’s Burton!
Who are these other Players?
Here’s Lenny’s version.

Elgin Street alley, Ottawa, Canada.
So many beauties live in alleys.
I have only several more posts left from Ottawa. With luck the series I went there to Design the Costumes for will be renewed & I’ll collect more Graf. BTW Ottawa is amazing to visit!

Here is the rest of one of the historical murals by artist, John Kuna that make Toronto beautiful. I had been so excited when I found it, that I came home and hastily posted just one pic in the oxymornically titled post Vintage Youth
