Traffic heavy corner, and the best spot was in the middle of the street.
Middle of the street was a no go, so, I took the first 2 shots & the 6th shot from across the street.
I took these next 3 from the same side of the street.
I thought, it’s black and white, so I put it through a black and white filter for the next pic.

Here’s an odd bit I found on the side of a building.
The front & side of the building quietly announce coffee and dressmaking.
I’m unsure of what this image has to do with either, if any at all. I like it a lot!

NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART: This post is filled with ghouls, gators, gorillas, giant insects & garbage.
Yes, yum, devour humans!
You guys are lightweights! I eat garbage.
Not as much as we do!
Allow me to chop all that garbage up for you!
Did someone mention garbage?
Don’t look at me! I’m full. I just finished mating, and well, he was a tasty fellow!
I’ll burn your garbage, you stupid alley dregs.
I vote we kick Flame Head out of the alley! He burnt my eye last year, and now I have to wear an air conditioner for an eye patch.
What a bunch of idiots. I need to find a new alley!

Dedicated to my dear niece Sherrie. As before and always, she’s the Hallowe’en Queen.
Artists include: Bruno Smoky, Nick Sweetman, Wales, Birdo and 2 unknown
That was horrific. I need a smoke!
Hallowe’en, phooey! I will take you all on! This alley needs straightening out!
It begins with the glint in an eagle’s eye.
Then we are taken through a First Nation’s experience, via this fabulous mural
A stunning Thunderbird, and other symbols mark the path!
I’m thinking this is a nicotine plant.
This wolf, and all of the animals depicted are A+
A beaver, Canada Geese and a Heron. (Or is it a Whooping Crane?)
The Eagle
A Raven
A Brown Bear
A Buffalo

I managed to take the entire mural from across the street. I left the photo file large, so if you click on, it blows up beautifully.
Birdo & Getso painted this board fence wrapping a high-rise construction site.
It wraps 2 sides. I started at the west end where a Birdo horse lives in a lime green circle.
There are 3 abstracts, all in colorful circles, following to the east..
Then there’s a cute…raccoon? with different size ears.
Followed by 3 more abstracts.
Where it turns the corner, there’s a cute …. donkey?? or Kangaroo?? with different size ears.
Five more abstracts run along the north to south boards.
The final Birdo is gorgeous!

The Artists:
Judging from its condition, the barrier seems to have been there awhile. It feels like a piece or 2 were missing.
I send these flowers out to Carolee Croft.
She has done me the honor of reviewing “Nine Black Lives”, which I wrote several years ago.
She called it “glamorous” & we all know how I love glamour. I find it everywhere, even in alleys.
I went wild and used up the rest of my camera’s battery when I saw these.
Chris Perez has covered 2 sides of what I would call a very large shack. He’s turned a vicious eyesore, into a thing of beauty with his abstract floral painting.

Internet was down for a few days, felt like weeks!
Finally, here is part 2 of this very original mural.
This part is more mixer, but the music has made it happen.
