The cat seems nervous, but holds its own in a world of dogs.
Above and below blow up nicely!
I’m a cat person, and I adore dogs.

⭐ For those of you not already familiar with Christy Birmingham, here’s Christy! ⭐
Thank you Christy for writing “Wolf” for Kids’ Month. It meant a lot to me! I’ve always enjoyed your writing talent and your blog, Poetic Parfait.
When you began your second blog, When Women Inspire, I discovered a place of sisterhood, that I love to this day!
Christy is busy 
penning her first novel. In the meantime, she has 2 books of poetry on the market.
Click on either cover and you will be taken to where you can buy a copy!
The Artists of the mural:
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.

Liberty Cat Mural
Thank you Georgiann! Your “Chicklets” and poems were a Kids’ Month highlight!
Artist: Jarus
OMG! Emmanuel Jarus is absolutely one of my top 5 street artists, and this work is his.
I read on Georgiann’s blog, Rethinking Life, that she liked snuggling up with a nice hot drink, a good book and a cat. I don’t see the book, but the sentiment remains.
This mural, in Liberty Village Toronto, is seen best from about a block away. Please… click on the pic below to see how gorgeous it is!
Some close-ups.
Thank you, Georgiann! Purrrrrrrrr! ⭐

It is definitely Jarus. I couldn’t find a signature. It could be behind a car.
Bees – Their 11th Hour
Without bees, there may be no time left for life.
Butterflies, hummingbirds & wind also pollinate, but bees do the lions’ share. Click on the next 2 images, & see bees working in all their glory.
At first, when I saw this mural on Queen East, I thought “Gorgeous”!
Immediately thereupon, I wondered why the artist had a clock set at 11:00, & gears in the mural with the bees?
Then it hit me!
Bees, & all pollinators are dying off due to pesticides & herbicides. It is their 11th hour. After discussing this with Marina Kanavaki, she made up her April’s clock read 11:00 for this post.
On Art Towards A Happy Day Marina spreads the importance of all life on the planet. If you click on her clock, bees will fly you to its original “Diamond Four” artwork.
So, let’s view this mural’s details from left to right.
Hello! Don’t bee afraid of me! I’m pollinating for you!
There was a shadow growing across the smaller right side of the mural.
I feel it is nature adding her own poetry. (blows up nicely)
When I looked across the street, I saw that the clock & a bee were reflected in the windows of a library.
I see time & the bee, melting …. fading away.
I think that I shall never see, a mural pretty as a bee! (TY, Joyce Kilmer!)

Click on the S6 Logo & the bees will fly you to Marina’s boutique. I’ve bought tights, a clock, travel mugs & make-up bags, all with Marina’s art on them. The quality is very good. Keep an eye out for discounts & free shipping!
More bee reflections.
Corktown
This baby’s hair is flying. We’re racing to thank Frank from A Frank Angle before his blog break.
Let me start at the beginning, in the past, as shown below in an olden days Corktown image.
The car above is to the left of the streetcar mural, and part of the mural in its entirety. (Thank you sun for the interesting shadow).
However, as I close in onto the elements within this impressionistic work of Street Art, I don’t care about the shadow, or the heavy traffic whipping by.
It is an alluring piece of art, and perfect to thank Frank for his contributions to Kids’ Month.
Aww, look at the cute kitty in a basket!
Look at these 2 cute doggies!
In this mural, the child is a local Corktown kid. However, a kid that will steal your heart is found at the Cincinnati Zoo, in Frank’s post On A Special Local Kid.
Thank you, Frank!

A new beauty has appeared in an alley in Kensington Market.
There is no place in Toronto where Street Art is held to such a street standard, yet, this past winter in Kensington saw a throw up devastation like no other.
Very few pieces were left untouched. She is one of the survivors.
