Blue Prince

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!

Sea Bugs?

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?

Rainbow Beauty, Too

This is not the best shot I took of these Rainbow Beauties that grace Rainbow Stage, but I inadvertently captured their reflections in a puddle. I love it!

Rainbow Beauty One

There’s an outdoor theater in Winnipeg called Rainbow Stage. The entire exterior is one ginormous mural. Part of the mural is two drama masked beauties that I couldn’t stop photographing.

Peace & Love

At 445 Chalmers Avenue in Winnipeg there is a very large second-hand store; The Kildonan MCC Thrift Shop.

Two sides of the building have been painted into one mural. I started at the street side of the building and made a Slideshow around into the parking lot. The pretty hippie under my text is the final shot of the sequence.
