When it is strikes close to home, lightening can be dangerous, terrifying.
Powerful enough for your heart to skip beats
Blinding
Numbing
Incongruous with the morning’s sunshine
… and we all know what comes after lightening

For Dale, my pal Thunder
Direct from the offices of Professional Moron
Every trick in the book,
All that he can find,
To make you laugh so hard you cry, and blow your mind,
Yet, just when you think you have his hysterical humour number down, he dazzles you with: a serious in depth book, movie, music, artist, video game or sports review!
I, the Queen of Hearts, hereby charge the esteemed editor of Professional Moron, Mr. Wapojif, (aka ‘Oron, so nicknamed by Resa & ‘Olly – ‘Ouse of ‘Eart)
with recipe crimes involving Marmite and Bovril!
Don’t let his charm and smooth talking ways make you pick any number, say a two,
He’ll always have an Ace up his sleeve!
You never know what you’ll find in an alley. Look, I found a paste-up of a promo shot of The Beach Boys taken in Manchester Sq. London, 1964, a mere 4 hours from Manchester U.K.
‘Oron, don’t go anywhere! In honour of this startling happening, ‘Olly has selected this Beach Boys song, especially for you.

Visit Professional Moron
This is new since the lockdown.
I found it in an alley I frequent.
Egads I adore it! What a classic!
A different angle. I adore the drainpipe integration.

I fell in love with this classic piece of alley art the second I laid eyes on it!
I shot from across the oddly busy alley, by a parked car. Parked cars offer a huge bit of protection from moving traffic.
The car also worked well for reflections. Note the woman’s face at the bottom of the reflection. This is from a mural I posted last year, & it’s on the side street. Cool, huh?
Then I shot strange angles from the side of the street the mural was painted on.

The Artists:
I’ve posted similar Kizmet 32 faces before.
These ones were driving me crazy. I would always see them driving by. No way to take pics.
Then suddenly one day, I saw it parked.

Bye for now!
Picking it up on this gorgeous peony
Then come the roses with writing.
A bad old truck was blocking this piece, big time. There were no reflections due the colour of the truck and a hardy coat of dirt. However, the bird is the best part.

This is how the alley finished.
In a grubby alley is painted a gorgeous garden.
I’m working left to right through the alley.

The Artists:
Not sure how Mike Kennedy passed, but he was young. You’ve seen many of his collaborative projects on this blog. The artists did a wonderful tribute painting to his memory.I will post that in the future.
Perhaps he felt my joy taking these pics, and sent a ray of shine. It’s been very grey and dark since late December.
