I find poetry in art, and poetry finds art in me.
Poets paint pictures with their words.
Emotions are drawn.
There’s art in the alleys. Sometimes paintings that remind me of my muse, a poetess, are found.
… and then I’m “Laughing to the sky, up to the sky”
Holly, poetess muse, thank you for letting me use your poem!

“Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth.”
What would a Buddha post be without a few of his quotes?
“Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.”
“What we think we become.”
“The foot feels the foot when it feels the ground.”
“You will not be punished for your anger. You will be punished by your anger.”
In 1957 there was a parade in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, to celebrate Buddha’s 2500th birthday. That would make Buddha 2578 years old.
Brian (Equinoxo21) was in Phnom Penh that year. He stayed home, but his dad took footage of the birthday celebration parade organized by Prince Norodom Siahnouk.

That’s Bunso posing by Poseidon. I met him while he was painting over the tags on his god art.
I could have asked him what god it was, but I always turn into an idiot groupie when I meet a street artist. I was lucky to be calm enough to get this pic.
He’s an amazing artist. I’ll make him an artist category, as this is my 4th or 5th piece by him.
Anyway, I wasn’t sure about the god, until…
…I found Pegasus.
Fathered by Poseidon, he was born from Medusa’s neck when Perseus cut her head off.

The Artist:
Bellerophon, divine hero & the son of Poseidon and Eurynome, rode Pegasus in order to defeat the monster Chimera.
Adore this mural, but it was a challenge to shoot. It’s 3 stories high.
Wires, again.
Best of all, a TTC shelter several feet in front of it, blocked part of the mural.
Below, an upside pano captured this shot of the most hidden kit.
The second kit, below, was easier.
I shot from across the street with the Zoom.
Above is taken from a left vantage point.
This one was taken from a right vantage point.
This last one was taken straight on. Below is a slideshow of 6 of the 7 butterflies.

The Artist:
A large mural is quickly swallowed by the city.
Actually, I was day dreaming down a rather cozy alley when I found this.
Then, it seemed I was in a dream.
The key? Are dreams a key?
“Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
I travel the world and the seven seas
Everybody’s looking for something.”
