I thought it said “Welcome”.

A month earlier I had driven by, and this mural graced a parking lot.

I finally had time to go back and capture this massive and fabulous mural.

When I got there, it was about to break ground to become a high rise.

I thought 2 things. 1- The mural will be blocked from view.

2- Where do all those cars I saw park now? I mean, there’s nowhere to park in the city.

Yay!! I found a small gap in the chain link fence, just enough to squeeze through.

I didn’t have to climb!

Here are some close ups of details.

I found this on another Day.

Nowhere on the sign did it say “No Trespassing”!

It’s almost time for the Valentines Day Party at the Coop

On By ResaIn Original Art1 Comment

Holly, Beth and Resa have arrived at the Coop early to prepare for the Valentines Party!

“Holly has kindly brought her famous corn bread, along with new and exciting surprises. The Chicklets can’t wait to start nibbling. The kitchen crew is so delighted to have her for an entire week. They can’t wait to see what she will make for them.

Midge has been assigned as Holly’s aide. She’s her go-for, and will get Holly anything she needs or wants. Everyone put their name in a hat and the winner was chosen that way, since everyone wanted to work with her.”

“Beth has arrived at The Coop, and while she’s not reading until the party, the Chicklets are starting to follow her around. I have a feeling they will get her to read a story or two, before the big day.

“Resa arrived at The Coop early, so she could set things up. The Chicklets are delighted to have her with them for so long. The Sewing Club is especially thrilled,, since she shows them how to make things, whenever she visits.”

Don’t miss any of the fun!!!!! Click on the Valentines Card to go to Gigi’s blog!

🦄 Cumpleaños de Aquileana 💜

On By ResaIn Cash Akoza, Murals59 Comments

🎂 Happy birthday, dear Aquileana! 🎂

We’ve shared many posts, and all are very special to me.

Other than the opening shot, I’m moving left to right.

I’ve been saving this mural for a special occasion. Wishing you a wonderful birthday, and thanking you for all the spectacular posts we’ve done together is a perfect time.

Of course, I was hoping to find some Scorpio themed street art with a Scorpion in it, but no such luck.

However, this First Nations inspired art is filled with the mystic,

much like Greek Mythology and the Tarot,

… and much like you.

🦄 HAPPY BIRTHDAY,  AQUILEANA 💜
