A protected sensuality
Yet day by day,
As time and cruel weather passes
Certain beauty fades.

I was in the lane behind 445 River Avenue in Winnipeg. I was shooting the centered piece of Graffiti Art, but when I saw a giant bug I ran for cover.
I was frozen with fear as I heard Sherrie (My Official Driver and Photographer) shout, “Hold it! Don’t move! That’s It! Got it!” I was sure she’d slain one.
Not that it’s less creepy, but now that I look at them they might be Ocean or Sea Bugs?

Pretty lines caress my eyes
Colors carry through
Then as I’m tasting something sweet
My heart is filled with you.

Dedicated to Sherrie Yager
This is not the best shot I took of these Rainbow Beauties that grace Rainbow Stage, but I inadvertently captured their reflections in a puddle. I love it!
They are so gorgeous that I am dedicating a Post to each one. Here is “Rainbow Beauty, Too”

There’s an outdoor theater in Winnipeg called Rainbow Stage. The entire exterior is one ginormous mural. Part of the mural is two drama masked beauties that I couldn’t stop photographing.
They are so gorgeous that I am dedicating a Post to each one. Here is “Rainbow Beauty One”

It was 10 below when I shot this cross-lane that leads into what I call “The Golden Mile” which is the alley south of Queen West running between Spadina and Bathurst.
The shots in the Slideshow zigzag through the lane.

Although I’m trying to systematically document areas, I can’t help getting excited and becoming creatively scattered.
Sometimes I’m just like an alley cat going for the bits I like best in whatever lane I’m in.
I pushed the colors in the shot below more than I ever have in a pic. It’s an attempt to show how lush the Graffiti Art is in some of Toronto’s core back lanes.
