An odd, gorgeous find in the alley.
You can see how beautiful this painting is.
Yes, that’s a heat lamp obstructing a full on shot.
Turns out this bird is under a makeshift …. car port, thing. I figure with the heat lamp, they bring out a table and chairs.
There was no sign saying I couldn’t enter the space, so I just took my pics.

The artist is unknown to me.
From this angle, you can see that it is painted on plywood.
I found a golden one like this about a year ago.

I always think of pussycats when I hear this.
I just had to go to Graffiti Alley yesterday. I was wondering if any of the artists were showing their support for Ukraine with their art. I found this by nick_sweetman
Nick says on his Instagram account:
“We chose the colours of the Ukranian flag and wrote “Putin idy nakhuy” which in Ukranian means “Putin, go fuck yourself” sung by Ukraine’s national animal, the nightingale. Letters by @mr_tensoe2 @twice.born and @workingspy3000 who also painted the white dove of peace 🕊”
A look at the alley.
Graffiti Alley is a large network of lanes and alleys. I continued on my way.
…and found this painted paste-up, which was obviously purposely wrinkled up in the gluing.
Say it again!
Boogapony and GLAM Promotions is thrilled to present:
Hello, everyone! Welcome to the aFa Weekend Concert Series!
I’m Frank, your host. You can currently find me strolling the beach with provoking thoughts at Beach Walk Reflections. In my prior blog life, I hosted A Frank Angle for over 11 years.
Music was an important part of aFa life. I hosted 8 musicals of 81 different acts/themes – plus 23 in the Weekend Concert Series. I won’t even attempt to guess how many songs appeared in those posts. Because Resa loved the music at aFa, she invited me to resurrect the series at this beautiful concert hall in Toronto – The Glam.
Before the show starts, one important note. Make sure you follow The Producer’s guidelines below.
Ladies and gentlemen from around the world. Courtesy of Boogapony and Glam Promotions, give a loud welcome to the Bee Gees with Lonely Nights!
The Host’s Choice
Only songs performed by any of the following: the Bees Gees, Andy Gibb, and solo careers.
Note: Return on Day 2 to submit more songs without limits. (My typical signal is posting a song for all attendees.)

The Artist
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!

I found a Great Blue Heron, on a garage door.
It’s one of the pterodactyl’s relatives, a great blue heron. The great blue heron is the largest heron in North America.
I’ve never seen one in real life.
However, I have seen many on Tim’s blog. Check out Tim’s night shot of one of these Blue Beauties wading in water.
Tim’s blog – Off Center Not Even is resplendent with nature’s beauty. He’s got magic trees, owls, biblical skies and more. I can’t thank him enough for allowing me to use many of his stunning photos.
