It was -20C. I had an errand by Graffiti Alley. I said don’t go into the alley!

I couldn’t control myself. It was rutted ice and snow. I walked in the ruts.

Even if there was nothing new, look how gorgeous the alley is! There is miles of painted alleys & lanes.

I found 5 new pieces. It seems the artists kept going even after the cold set in. I’m so excited, I’m posting one now!

I wore fingerless gloves & wow, whew, thaw time was required.

🎵 🎵 Fa La La Quack, Quack Fa La La Quack La. 🎵 🎵

My sweet family of Ducks created by Ceramic Artist: Belén Soto from Arcilla y Fuego send sincerest warm wishes to everyone, no matter what holiday they celebrate this season. May your joy equal theirs!

The warm holiday lights were turned on, & Lluvia stood under the tree for a picture. A star fell off, & got caught in her bow. It was so cute, Sol took about 1000 photos.

Of course Drake and Sol have over shopped gifts for their special girl, but you can’t blame the proud loving parents!

Even as they introduce baby girl to the world, Sol has decided to send Lluvia to the all girl “Duckademy” for higher flying.

⭐️ 💙 ⭐️ SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT ⭐️ 💙 ⭐️

Sol & Drake have a new egg.

Sol shows off their new egg. Drake is sure the egg will be a boy! It looks just like photos of him, when he was a young egg.

Here are the very first pics taken of Lluvia with her parents. Here she kisses Sol.

Drake is fiercely protective of Lluvia & would do anything for her. Lluvia instinctively understands this as she snuggles close to Drake’s feathers for warmth.

Muisca Bird

This wonderfully colored bird kept its eye on me as I shot it.

It’s amazing what can be done on a garage door,

Then around the fence on the corner.

She’s on the side of a convenience store, on Queen St. West.

She’s over an ice chest.

She wears a rose.

I’d forgotten about these pics, but A Frank Angle reminded me, inadvertently.

It was a post Frank did on Ordinary People. That reminded me about this street art shot in a parking lot. The shot below is from Frank’s post.

Frank covers the Murals of Cincinnati on his blog. If you check out Ordinary People, you will be in his mural category, and can check out many more delightful works of art. TY, Frank!

Uber Cats w/Turtles & Dogs

This is the last post from the Humane Society wall.

To the right of the orange cat playing with a ball of blue yarn (as you look at the mural) are 2 turtles.

Seems the turtles have bad eyes, or are they wearing glasses because they are shallow fashion turtles?

To the left is an orange cat who plays with an orange ball, and a black cat.

There’s nothing like 2 great big kitten heads in a row!

Cute or what?

This must be mom, because she is protecting the kittens from a dog and a bird.

Doug & the blue dog take up the end of the mural.

This guy is around the corner.
