This sweet mural by Nick Sweetman, is an awareness tribute,
… to some of the most important pollinators on our planet.
The mural turns 3 corners. I will do my best to show it left to right. The above shot was taken from across the street. Cars, vans, trucks and busses dominated 19 of the 20 shots I took.
I used pano for this. It captures the zig-zag of the 3 walls.
I did a sideways pano for the above pic.
Spring is 4 weeks away!
The car wasn’t much of a problem,
.. and I grabbed a couple of window reflection shots.
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.

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!)
