Artist: MSKA

Considering she was the one who got to do her art in the trash area, I am impressed.

High On Birdo

I’ve been a big fan of Birdo for 4 years.

Artist: Birdo

I’ve got at least 10 garage doors and other pieces I haven’t posted, yet.

Artist: Birdo

However, this mural is really something special, as it is 5 stories high.

Artist: Birdo

It is in a parking lot in the business area, so the only day for capturing it was Sunday. I don’t like getting up early on Sunday, but I did for this.

⭐ THANK YOU, CAROLEE! ⭐

Carolee Croft is a Canadian writer currently living in Sao Paulo, Brazil. She writes novels that are in her own words “I hope not too naughty for your audience”. I find that a tad endearing coming from an admitted fan of Spongebob. You can find her books on  Carolee’s Books on Amazon

The Women

From Alley 18

Artist: Emily May Rose

I’ve been back 4 times, and I can’t get a break regarding parked cars.

Artist: Emily May Rose

I did my best, but a full shot was hard come by, and there are a couple of faces I could not get at.

A Crustacean & Sharks in Newcastle

Today, an Australian treat from Carolyn Page of ABC of Sprit Talk

“Look at the little crustacean. He has dollar notes in his shell..!!”

“and the little fish has dollar signs painted on it…  I only discovered these when I zoomed in….  Don’t know the connection there; but think it’s worth a mention.”

This shark seems quite dapper in his elegant bow tie.

Newcastle, Australia

“Just a little background on Newcastle:”

“Newcastle is a harbour city in the Australian state of New South Wales. Its plentiful beaches are linked by the Bathers Way, a coastal walk stretching between Nobbys Beach and Merewether Beach. The walk provides access to Bogey Hole, a convict-built ocean bath from the colonial period. Also on the path is the 1880s Fort Scratchley, a historic site and a viewpoint for spotting migrating whales.”

Although there are no whales on these boxes, Carolyn says:

“I’ve seen the migrating whales a couples of times. They are absolutely majestic! I especially love it when a mother and babe glide effortlessly, and seemingly slowly through the water. A brilliant sight.”
