I missed a Mermaid!

There are 2 cleverly inserted Mermaids in a mural at 1036 Main Street, Winnipeg.

I saw the second one tonight for the first time. She was up in the opposite corner from Mermaid Blue.

I did a crop and tried to fix it, but it was not good so I’m not posting it.

I’m so happy I saw this one and shot pics of her. She is so very beautiful!

Hopefully, this most awesome piece of art will be restored! As flaked as it was, it was a joy to behold!

Glory, It wasn’t sleeting!

However it was Thanksgiving”  weekend, and the “Rocket” ran over a piece of wood with a very large nasty nail in it. Sherrie’s dad, and Poopsie rescued us.

The shutters are all painted. Unfortunately, the purlple-ish reefer smoking wolf was the only one down when we we there.

It’s a fun bit!

When I took shots of it, time had passed & it had been deteriorating. I am thrilled that Jill was kind enough to contact me & supply us with a pristine vision.

I have put my pics into a slideshow, as although not so gorgeous, represent the joy I felt upon discovering & approaching it.
