Ukulele Lady
On a minimal find graf hunt day, I came across this mural.
It was in the process of being painted.
I met the artists.They spoke broken English. I spoke broken Spanish.
Despite the language differences, I learned that the artists were working with youths who had lost one or both parents to drug addiction.
I went back 6 days later to photograph the result.
The ukulele originated in Hawaii. It is related to several Portuguese instruments, in particular the machete and the rajão.

Overcoming Adversity: Vietnamese Refugees Mural
Winnipeg’s Mural Of The Year – 2015
Risking sounding insensitive; I respect the mural, however, it is not my fave from 2015. I feel it was politically judged, rather than artistically judged. I have felt this, or sometimes that the art and politics are both a recipe for winning MOY. If that is the criterion, then why did the Nellie McClung Mural not win MOY 2016? I adore the mural that won, but it has nothing on Nellie and her gals getting women the vote.
Moving on: A truck blocked part of the left side of the mural.
Here are some close-ups.

I had to go around to shoot what the truck blocked on the left of the mural.
I shot the above Mountie & below, Tam Nguyen who owns the building the mural is painted on.
Tam Nguyen receives his Canadian citizenship.
Meeting of the Twain
A garage door from the same alley as the last 2 posts reinforces the positive energy the residents share.
Here is the countryside.
Here is the city.
They can agree to disagree, and be cordial acquaintances. This is a small painting with a big message.

Pink Diamond Birdo
Did you know that pink Diamonds are one of the rarest gemstones on earth?
Well, I don’t own one, but Birdo painted one.
This Birdo looks a lot like a baby Blue Jay, but feel free to correct me, as I’m a bit off when it comes to nature studies.
However, Inese, at Inese Photography is not challenged. Her nature posts are true gems.
This post is to thank Inese for her Puffin Post contribution to Kids’ Month.
