I had to flee a bunch of vans and a couple of trucks, while taking pics of a mural.
I was forced around the corner onto a wee side street, and found this bit of joy.

Read, Watch & Travel
Reading is wonderful!
Watching TV, whether series, movies, music videos, virals or documentaries is entertaining and relaxing. Networked, streamed or on DVD is fab.
Toronto’s Red Rocket (public transportation) won’t take you across the ocean, but it symbolizes traveling from here to there.
Ste J Reviews covers all.

The cat seems nervous, but holds its own in a world of dogs.

Yellow Dragon
Don’t be afraid! Painted dragons can’t bite, even if they look fierce.
…. and don’t be afraid to visit some “Dragon Tales” on Sidran’s most interesting blog.
Sidran, who works with children in New Delhi (now that’s fierce!) sent us a mural from New Delhi, for Kids’ Month.
Thank you so much, Sidran.

It’s Kids’ Month!
Last year, at this time, I hosted Kids’ Month.
When Sherrie & I found this mural at a Community Center in Winnipeg, I knew there would be a second Kids’ Month.
What I love about this mural is that kids helped to paint it.
Take a sec to blow up the pic below, & really see the complete mural.
This year Kids’ Month will be more inclusive than just street art.
There will be poetry in combo with street art & original artwork by fellow bloggers. I’ve got some educational posts planned, in conjunction with street art.
I’ll be reblogging some reviews of Kids’ books & a special reblog about Puffins.
Today I bought a picture book for Michele Eastman’s “Picture Book Pass It On” drive.
I’ll be sending it through ground mail. It will be a small investment, that I believe will do a big good.
This is going to be one fun month!

OR: Click on her name and go to her FaceBook page, where she is also working on the campaign.
Here is the book I bought!
All Charities are not Created Equal! It’s easy enough to research & find the good guys. Here are a few I respect, after doing some research.
Canadian Big Brothers and Sisters scored 4 stars or an “A” rating from various groups.
President Obama & First Lady Michelle Obama launched Let Girls Learn.
A society free from sexual and other forms of exploitation against children and women. Anuradha Koirala, founder of Maiti Nepal was a CNN Hero in 2011. A visit to the site is only for the strong of heart.
Helps more than children, but they help a lot of children They have 4 star ratings, and one website gave World Vision Canada a “B”
Koala Bleu
What? Bleu is French. Koala is English.
Yes, and Canada has 2 official languages, French & English.
What’s your point?
My point is that during “Kids’ Month” we should educate!
Yowzer! Did you know even grumpy Koalas love “Kids’ Month”! Okay, as a grumpy Koala, I want to say, stay tuned for “Kids’ Month”!

Abstraction in Five
I saw this colorful strip, as I was being driven somewhere.
When I returned on foot, I found 5 abstracts by the tracks.
The sidewalk was thin, the traffic heavy and fast. The sun reflected off the paint to blind me.
I didn’t get hit by a car, and in spite of sun blindness, I managed to capture all 5 panels.
I couldn’t get any further back, and the art was somewhat elevated.
Just feeling the traffic whizzing by made me dizzy.
At first it was all just a smear of colours. Then I saw Jimi Hendrix playing his guitar in the purple haze of heaven.
Now, I see other things, but it’s too, late to shoot the close ups.
You can see, in the pic below and other pics, the sun reflected in the painting.
The sun is so fabulous, I think it adds to my shots.
“Sun, sun, sun, here it comes”
I thought this face was a crab or some kind of sea creature, until I got home and looked at my pics.
I’m not sure what else I missed? If you see something, tell me!
This fabulous art experience was a mere 1 hour walk from my home, & 1 hour back.
Nothing gets me to walk further than the anticipation of finding street art.
