I just got a big case of the shivers reading “Panda Moon” by Brenda. This is my 4th read, and it just gets better. Brenda, you are a dear fairy person, and I thank you so much for all your support here during Kids’ Month! ❤

Owls are amazing creatures that go to work under the colors of night.
I found this painted owl on the side of a tiny building in Winnipeg.
Cindy Knoke found a real life owl at “The Living Coast Discovery Center in The San Diego Bay National Wildlife Refuge. It’s amazingly gorgeous, and if you click on Cindy’s photo of the owl, you will get to see an entire post filled with this beauty!
My painted owl is very pretty, and lovely to look at. However, when I look at Cindy’s owl, I want to hold it and kiss it and hug it and love it.
A big “thank you” to Cindy Knoke, a fave blogger of mine. She takes fabulous photographs, and shares them with us. Her blog is visually gorgeous and educational. She has joined with me to help make this wonderful Owl Art post into more than just another pretty face. It now has a beautiful soul.

Kids’ Month 2017
Michele Eastman holds a “Picture Book Pass It On” drive every year. Click on the logo to go to her blog’s article explaining the charity, and where you can find the address to mail your picture book donation. OR: Click on her name and go to her FaceBook page, where she is also working on the campaign.
These sweet birdies are all over the city for young and old alike to enjoy.
This painted power box is outside of a grade school, and community park.
Seems like chicks and “Chicklets” alike are for kids, and kids are very cool.
Even the stupid tag on this side doesn’t ruin it, for me. I hope the kids who see it everyday are inspired by the art, and not the vandalism. I’m hoping Uber 5000 comes back and touches it up.

What? Bleu is French. Koala is English.
Yes, and Canada has 2 official languages, French & English.
What’s your point?
My point is that during “Kids’ Month” we should educate!
Yowzer! Did you know even grumpy Koalas love “Kids’ Month”! Okay, as a grumpy Koala, I want to say, stay tuned for “Kids’ Month”!

In a lane off Wellesely is this very pretty, but wildly eroded mural.
I’ve never seen paint peeling like this before. It was literally hanging like curled and colorful Post-it notes across a 40 ft. wall.
Had I found this when it was fresh, it would have been a 3-part post. This is all that was left to take pics of. I considered taking a shot of the peeling paint, but alas, I couldn’t bare to be reminded of what I’d missed out on.

I saw this colorful strip, as I was being driven somewhere.
When I returned on foot, I found 5 abstracts by the tracks.
The sidewalk was thin, the traffic heavy and fast. The sun reflected off the paint to blind me.
I didn’t get hit by a car, and in spite of sun blindness, I managed to capture all 5 panels.
I couldn’t get any further back, and the art was somewhat elevated.
Just feeling the traffic whizzing by made me dizzy.
At first it was all just a smear of colours. Then I saw Jimi Hendrix playing his guitar in the purple haze of heaven.
Now, I see other things, but it’s too, late to shoot the close ups.
You can see, in the pic below and other pics, the sun reflected in the painting.
The sun is so fabulous, I think it adds to my shots.
“Sun, sun, sun, here it comes”
I thought this face was a crab or some kind of sea creature, until I got home and looked at my pics.
I’m not sure what else I missed? If you see something, tell me!
This fabulous art experience was a mere 1 hour walk from my home, & 1 hour back.
Nothing gets me to walk further than the anticipation of finding street art.

I did see what appeared to be some kind of credit:
PASYSTEM
March is Kids’ Month on GLaM.
It all began last year… on Ste J’s Bookmust blog when he reblogged a piece about
Michelle Eastman Books. Michele hosts a Picture book drive, “Picture Book Pass It On” every year in March to collect picture books for children with incarcerated parents. She has started early this year on Michele Eastman Books on FaceBook
⭐ Michele tells me she has already received signed books from from Robert Munsch (Love You Forever, The Paper Bag Princes) and Nick Bruel (Bad Kitty series) ⭐
I’d love you to contribute a poem or short story! On my menu bar is “Kids”. In this page you will find Street Art suited for children. You can use one of these pics to write to.
You can post it on your blog, & I will reblog it. Or, send me your words that go with the shot(s) you’ve chosen. I will post it as a Guest Submission. The choice is yours!
During Kids’ Month, find on my sidebar, links to
