On an electric box in Greek Town..
A dear blue face…
…surrounded in summer’s bounty.

So, it’s the fence that’s old, and it makes the wolf look old.
The slats are warped and uneven.
The entire fence slants to one side along the alley.
The alley itself is uneven, slopes downward so minimally I didn’t know I was crooked until looking through the camera lens.
The wood is rotting.
The paint is chipped, peeling and punctured.
I just love it!

The Artist(s) There are 2 marks on the art.
Not sure how old this mural is. The colours are still quite bright, but it is chipped and peeling like crazy. It’s fab.
“Woman can have mustache”. That’s what it appears to say over the top lip.
“Love is Us” over one of the eyes.
“blow it” is between the eyes and over the nose.
It took a bit of time and scrutiny to figure out “Beauty of Imperfection”
Of course there was some wood trash in the way when I found it.
So I moved it, then replaced it when finished. The text over the trash was a tad challenging to figure.
“Sometimes you have to Be a Lion So you Can Be The Lamb you are “

Not sure if it’s “Love” over the other eye?
A mural for the coming spring.
I travelled across the city to Greek Town.
I found 5 works of art worth posting, 2 ruined by the sun’s shadows, 1 for just in case and 1 WTF.
All in all a fabulous day!
The day was made even better by the wonderful vibes, shops, restaurant patios and people in Greek Town.
I would definitely consider moving there when we eventually downsize. It’s a beautiful lifestyle.

March 8 is International Women’s Day.
Looking around the globe, especially beyond Europe, Canada and the U.S.A., a day seems a token.
“What is the color of International women’s Day 2024?
“The colours associated with International Women’s Day are purple, green, and white, each carrying symbolic significance. Purple represents justice and dignity, while green symbolizes hope. White, although a contentious concept, signifies purity.”
Emmiline and Christabel Parkhurst of the UK changed purple to violet to fit the slogan “Give Women the Vote,” Women would wear these colours, as a secret language. Peridots, emeralds, pearls, diamonds, amethysts, and garnets were worn. Jewelry with chains & bars denoted she had been to jail for the cause.
I made the above “Message in a Bracelet” in 2014, a precursor to celebrate 100 years of women voting. I’m also now calling it my “International Woman’s Day Bracelet“
Owls are largely nocturnal hunters.
They might hunt from a tree like my tree (aka Resa’s Tree), which lives on Tim’s Magic Tree Sanctuary
However, I found this owl in the daytime.
You’ll notice no owls in my daytime tree!
This owl is actually sitting on rocks by porch steps.
As day closes…
My tree awaits.

Yes, it’s spelled different.
KISMET
a hypothetical force or personified power that determines the course of the future events : fate, destiny.
Kizmet 32 is the artist who painted this box.
Although it was kismet that I bumped into this art,
… on a sunny day along Lake Ontario.
That meant shadows, but I think they work here. They are barely noticeable on the east side of the box.
None at all on the north side. The lake is in the background.
Can’t see any on the west side. Ha! Suddenly I see KIZ.
I’m luvin’ the shadow on the south side.
I had to get in on it.
Back to the beginning.
