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.

Aarrooo… yip … bark .. roo roo… aaarooo, yip!
Who goes there? Wolf or a coyote?
I’m a coyote, but I’m practicing to be a wolf.
Whoa, just hold on there!
I’m pretty sure once a coyote, always a coyote. Check out Cindy Knoke’s pictures of coyotes that she took! Click on the pic, and it will take you to her coyotes.
I changed my mind. I’m a wolf! Yip, bark, arooo, yip.
Not so fast little buddy! I’m going to ask my cousin Wilbear. He lives on a shipping container across town.
Howdy Beary! I’d say he’s a coyote.
Well, maybe you guys aren’t Grizzly Bears?
As sure as you and Beary live in the same mural, Beary and I are grizzlies. I’d like to add if people click on the mural above, they can see how splendid it is.
Also, if you click on Cindy‘s Grizzly pic below, you will be transported to Cindy’s pics of our real grizzly cousins!
Well, yip yip, aarooo!
A big “thank you” to Cindy Knoke, a fave blogger of mine. She takes fabulous photographs, and shares them with us. Her blog is visually gorgeous and educational. She has joined with me to help make Kids’ Month into a special time.

KIDS’ MONTH 2017
Cash Akoza has taken First Nations style art to a new horizon.
In an older, drab area of Winnipeg, Cash has added color and theme & brightened it up for all the kids who live there.
There are 5 painted walls, all in small area between a street and an alley. It’s a place where a lot of kids live. This one of the walls.
Click on the above pic to see the mural in all its glory, and it is glorious!

KIDS’ MONTH 2017
I sent a book in!
This is a colorful & educational mural about the Philippines!
The traditional costume is very beautiful.
The happiness is beautiful.
Click on the pic below and see the entire mural.
This mural even has a map,
..and a doll, which could possibly be King Philip of Spain. If anyone knows for sure, I would love to be educated!

Kids’ Month 2017
What? Bleu is French. Koala is English.
Yes, and Canada has 2 official languages, French & English.
What’s your point?
My point is that during “Kids’ Month” we should educate!
Yowzer! Did you know even grumpy Koalas love “Kids’ Month”! Okay, as a grumpy Koala, I want to say, stay tuned for “Kids’ Month”!

In a lane off Wellesely is this very pretty, but wildly eroded mural.
I’ve never seen paint peeling like this before. It was literally hanging like curled and colorful Post-it notes across a 40 ft. wall.
Had I found this when it was fresh, it would have been a 3-part post. This is all that was left to take pics of. I considered taking a shot of the peeling paint, but alas, I couldn’t bare to be reminded of what I’d missed out on.

I saw this colorful strip, as I was being driven somewhere.
When I returned on foot, I found 5 abstracts by the tracks.
The sidewalk was thin, the traffic heavy and fast. The sun reflected off the paint to blind me.
I didn’t get hit by a car, and in spite of sun blindness, I managed to capture all 5 panels.
I couldn’t get any further back, and the art was somewhat elevated.
Just feeling the traffic whizzing by made me dizzy.
At first it was all just a smear of colours. Then I saw Jimi Hendrix playing his guitar in the purple haze of heaven.
Now, I see other things, but it’s too, late to shoot the close ups.
You can see, in the pic below and other pics, the sun reflected in the painting.
The sun is so fabulous, I think it adds to my shots.
“Sun, sun, sun, here it comes”
I thought this face was a crab or some kind of sea creature, until I got home and looked at my pics.
I’m not sure what else I missed? If you see something, tell me!
This fabulous art experience was a mere 1 hour walk from my home, & 1 hour back.
Nothing gets me to walk further than the anticipation of finding street art.
