Okay, week 6 of isolating is upon me.
Like many, I am very cooped up at home, venturing out for necessities, only.
I’d prefer to run in the wind, wild and free.
But, we must flatten the curve!
Anyway, I’m determined to have some fun. So, while Covid spins us sadly around,
I’m spinning the spin, until we win!

I fell in love with this classic piece of alley art the second I laid eyes on it!
I shot from across the oddly busy alley, by a parked car. Parked cars offer a huge bit of protection from moving traffic.
The car also worked well for reflections. Note the woman’s face at the bottom of the reflection. This is from a mural I posted last year, & it’s on the side street. Cool, huh?
Then I shot strange angles from the side of the street the mural was painted on.

Our friend Francina – Poetry and Art wrote a post, Share the Light .
Francina asks, “Why don’t we all share the light as a sign of hope? We can do this by posting for instance an image of a candle, a lamp, the light of a lighthouse etc. etc. in a blog post with the heading: Share the Light.”
Many of our blog pals have posted a “Share the Light” and Francina has reblogged them. I hope more join in with a post, and don’t forget to link to Francina’s blog!
She quotes the refrain from Leonard Cohen’s ANTHEM (1982) For those who don’t know it, here is the poet, himself. His opening statement also applies today.
Who ever thought the food industry could become a dangerous business?
We gotta eat, right?
I sit and think how grateful I am for everything so many are doing to keep life rolling along this very bumpy Coronavirus road.
Bakers still bake bread.
Deliveries need to be made to store, and direct to homes. Truckers with big rigs and drivers in vans are all more important than ever, now.
I’m thankful for First Responders: Firefighters, EMS & Police.
Thank you to farmers who must keep our food growing!
Public transportation is still running in Toronto, but there’s not a lot of riders, as people work from home a lot these days. 
Someone has to drive these things, and I thank them!
There’s more! Pharmacists, Sanitation workers, Postal workers, public works such as water, electricity and many I can’t think of right now….OH! the wine store workers. Thank you! Let me know in comments who I missed, and I will add them!
What’s that saying I hear a lot of these days? “We’ll all get through this, together!”

My Thank You Tribute To Resa
Not so long ago, my dizzy spells and skull pounding headaches returned, breaking my spirit. Like an angel in the night (or out of an alley) Resa delivered a post dedicated to me. This beautiful gesture returned light and hope to my little hut.
Laguna Gri Gri is one of the Dominican Republic’s major bird sanctuaries, set along a peaceful lagoon flanked by thick mangroves. When I took these photos, my intention was to contribute a series of murals to Resa’ inspiring blog. Sadly, my health and the lockdown due to the virus extinguished my plans.
I will do my best to do this in Resa’s unique, artistic tour guide style.
This serious faced native who Lonely Author decided to name The Serious Faced Native is the first face we see as we enter the santuary. I believe the artist wanted to convey the…

There are many health care workers who are WP bloggers. They are working tirelessly, to fight Coronavirus. This post is dedicated to them, and all health care workers on the front lines.
I found this on the side of a pharmacy about 2.5 years ago. I figured it must have something to do with medicine.
Recently, I bumped into the mural on Instagram. I followed the links, and it turns out it is a graffiti remix of Dali’s painting of “Madonna of Port Lligat”. 
It seems perfect for this tribute. My most sincere & deepest thank you’s, to all of you who take care of all of us!

Looks like modern hi-tech medicine to me.

NEXT POST DEDICATED TO FOOD CHAIN WORKERS!
This post is dedicated to Drew, The Lonely Author!
Lonely, as I like to call him, has been resting up in the Dominican Republic. After a couple of heart attacks, he now awaits surgery.
Restless, I went for an alley walk (no problem keeping social distance in the alleys) and was rewarded with 3 fab garage doors. The moment I laid eyes on this painting, I thought of Lonely.
I have no idea what he looks like, but I know how he feels to me. Lonely is an incurable romantic, and that fact is reflected in his well written & passionate poetry. The colours in this art are like all of the colours, from the various moods, in his poems.
I don’t know what the artist meant by the bleeding purple heart, but that’s Lonely, to me. His heart leads his way. It seems like this image, was painted especially for him.
So join me in wishing Lonely a big GET WELL SOON! After all, he needs to get back to his series “Inspiring Woman Of WordPress”. He was only 2 dedications into the series, when he became ill. I am grateful to have been one of the two.
I picked this song out for you, Lonely. I hope you like it!
