I have no idea what a dragon by a gold moon means.
If anyone knows, please let me know!
What is that thing the dragon holds?
I was thrilled to find this.

I saw the movie “A Face In The Crowd” when I was in my mid 30’s. It’s a fab movie. I was thrilled and mesmerized by the baton twirling competition scenes. Obviously Lee Remick could twirl!
So, I decided I was going to be a champion twirler in 2-3 months. I bought 2 batons, eschewed any lessons and arrogantly twirled. Yeah, right! What was I thinking? Honestly, I thought I would be better than the guy below!
Anyway, I would practice twirling and tossing in the middle of our street. Never did catch a baton. I’d run out of the way when they came down out of the sky, only to bounce on the road. One day a family, mom, dad & 2 kids came out their door when I was doing my thing. They took one look and hustled the kids back inside.
Whatever happened to baton twirling? I think it is athletic and creative, like figure skating. I’m down with both men and women twirling. Perhaps it should be an Olympic competition?
Here’s the trailer from “A Face In The Crowd”!
It’s a movie worth seeing! Hmm, wherever did I put those batons?
No Town too Small for Street Art
“Diana” – Prolific writer, book reviewer extraordinaire and lover of life & love others have for life; has shared some groovy (amazing) street art from her home town, Verona (population 2300).
Now I share it with you!
I strongly suggest you go over and see it for yourself!
– Thank you, Diana!
I live in a little logging town in the Coastal Range of Oregon. Almost no one passes through because there isn’t anywhere to go. If you roll into Vernonia, it’s because you live, work, or play here, or know someone who does.
Despite having a population of about 2,300, we just painted the town red. Not with rowdy revelers, but with murals!
I love Street Art. It’s bright and beautiful, accessible to all, and free.
Resa, over at Graffiti Lux Art & More, wanders around Toronto, Canada searching out street art. Her posts are gorgeous and inspiring, and if you enjoy murals, definitely stop by her place. I promised her I’d share my town’s new paint!

Dionysus or Bacchus?
Whomever, I could sure use a glass!
I like his wine cup. I’ll have one!

I don’t know. The name could be behind the garbage bins.
The Queen of Fado
Amália Rodrigues
She is known as the Queen of Fado.
Before I found this mural, I’d never heard of Fado.
Who knew? There is a musician up the street, and he is a Fado Singer.
He says Fado is the Portuguese Blues. He says, as everyone knows, Amália Rodrigues is the undisputed Queen of Fado!

Are Three Heads Better Than One?
I was totally dizzy, having crossed a foot bridge over railway tracks.
Descending back to earth with these gorgeous heads all the way down, was cause for more dizziness.
One head is usually enough.
I suppose 2 are necessary, if you’re sharing eyes.
I’ve posted Kizmet 32’s white eyed women, before. This one is the most unique, so far. I’m a fan.

Adore this!
It’s a new painting on a patio down the street from me.
When I got there, a green clothed table was already in place. There was only a couple of angles to shoot, that did not capture some green, or obliterate the face altogether. Oddly, some of my fave shots are the distorted angles I was using to NOT see the green cloth.
I nicely asked the man who was setting up the patio, if he would please move the table for a few shots (about 35) LOL! He was kind enough to do so. I thanked him profusely!
