In a narrow “Restricted Access” driveway, on the north side of Queen West and a couple of short city blocks west of Dufferin St. lives this fresh beauty. It’s 2 stories high and 35ish feet deep.
“Kwest” is the artist, and I found a lot of interesting elements within it. I put them in this Slideshow.

There’s a rumor going around that if you kiss a frog, he’ll turn into a prince. What if it was a blue frog like this one from a Mural that covers Pet Traders at 1333 Portage Avenue, Winnipeg? Would he turn into a blue prince? What if you accidentally kissed a toad? Don’t worry!

“Diamonds are nice and so are pearls,
but there’s nothing like us pretty girls” (unknown quote)
This quote was submitted by Le Drake Noir in the comments section of my post from February 2, 2013 titled “For Your Love”
It has inspired my series of Pretty Girl Posts, so all “Pretty Girl” posts are dedicated to Le Drake Noir.

In an alley south of Queen St. W. these gorgeous horses grace a wall.
Languishing in swirls, they have no bodies. I guess that’s why they make me think of Sea Horses.
They also look like Knights from a chess board.
Man, I love this alley!

There’s red, white, magenta and green, but sometimes I’m just in a blue mood.

Back alley south of Queen Street West between Spadina and Bathurst
Toronto, Ontario, Canada
A protected sensuality
Yet day by day,
As time and cruel weather passes
Certain beauty fades.

I was in the lane behind 445 River Avenue in Winnipeg. I was shooting the centered piece of Graffiti Art, but when I saw a giant bug I ran for cover.
I was frozen with fear as I heard Sherrie (My Official Driver and Photographer) shout, “Hold it! Don’t move! That’s It! Got it!” I was sure she’d slain one.
Not that it’s less creepy, but now that I look at them they might be Ocean or Sea Bugs?
