Sherrie and I had done the Exchange District, the weather was gorgeous and “The Rocket” was purring like a kitten.

We head out to grab a Train Mural that had been obscured by a semi last time I’d been in the Peg. That’s when we found the Fairies.

Sherrie had to stay with “The Rocket” while I shot. She was cool with that, as she was idling by this graffed-out dumpster she fancied.

Even though it had been fouled by a giant tag, the mural was splendid.

With the kids in the hood in mind, he made it a hopscotch game. I think it’s brilliant.
