Not sure why I have been hoarding this.
It’s far too, beautiful not to share.
It’s a very long, skinny and close to the ground piece, so I have to show you the image in 2 pano pics.
Some close ups.

Look at this gorgeous Monarch with 3 Burners.
Nick Sweetman did the Monarch. He even put a crown on it.
This beautiful, yet heart rending poem is written by the fabulous Holly from House of Heart and reproduced here with her permission.
THE MONARCH
From my swing
I spot the Monarch
sipping from a nectary,
gently I snare him
by his dew drenched wings.
I wonder if he knows
his fate lies in my hands.
Clutched between my fingers
imagine how his heart pounds.

19 years ago, there were clouds of Monarchs during migration season. 5 years ago, I did not see even 1 Monarch. So, 4 years ago we planted Milkweed in the back yard. It is the only plant Monarchs lay eggs in.
I’d also heard that they are attracted to their own colours, and colours of the Milkweed. Ours is green and orange. It took until this summer to get the painting organized. I’m pleased to say that I saw about 50- 100 Monarchs this year.
The Burners represent the sky, a sunset and the green earth. By: #tensoe2 #ctr #2hel.

The wall was constantly being tagged. This is what it looked like before the painting.
The best is; since the Burners were painted…not 1 tag!
There are white squirrels in Trinity – Bellwoods Park.
Apparently they are not a breed, but more like albino squirrels.
They have created more white squirrels.
Toronto is so proud of these rare beauties …
That we have named a street after them.
I have not seen one, but I don’t have hours to sit quietly, in a Squirrel Zen State, with a bag of peanuts. Although, it’s on my “To do list”.

The colours are just gorgeous on this garage door Humming Bird.
The flowers, insects… beautiful.
The alley’s garage doors are an outdoor gallery.
This row is across form a park. Past the park, both sides of the alley are lined with art. Timothy says he’ll do a 360. Next alley, or this one when I get back to it, I will take the needed shots!

This would be a Supernova Butterfly.
By Art Child
This could be a butterfly collected, from earth, by an investigative race from outer space.
.. and now for an alien butterfly.

I heard of an interesting mural. When I got there, the building was torn down, & new construction underway.
I wandered lonely as a cloud, through high-rises and their lanes.
I turned into a parking lot, and found art performance fame.
High-rises, and the areas they are located in, are not prime street art venues.
Look how high up (about 18 stories) & huge this beauty is!
Did the best I could with my Iphone camera.
Two days later, and I’m still feeling the find.

The Artist is unknown to me, at this time.
This mural looks freshly done, so a plaque might be going up soon.
It’s a whole new appreciation for snails!
I would NEVER eat one.
Although they seem to make cute pets.
They are possibly good for your skin, but I haven’t googled that.

Eye had an epic failure trying to make a Snail Lady of my own.
Still, Eye got to try 3 new colours in a new brand of water colour pencils. What was Eye thinking? A Snail Lady with blue eyes?
