MURAL

 We have been passing this building for a long time, and I have always wanted to take a closer look. I asked Gregg if he could pull in so that I could take photos today, which he did. I didn't see the artist's name and I couldn't find any information online. Also, there was no clear path up to the building, and new mulch had been laid down. I didn't want to tread on any new plants that hadn't shown themselves yet. No name today unfortunately. I will keep looking just in case anything pops up.

A very nice side trip to see up close.

Thanks for looking and I hope your week is going well.

    1. It was right on the main road but we always kept missing it as it's a busy road. I'm really glad we pulled off today :)

    1. It has always appealed to me too Rita, we are walking up the same alley :) and I agree with you. Maybe it's because we love nature so much?

  5. I LOVE THIS! the 2nd and 3rd are my favorites, awesome art, wish I could do that on my kitchen wall. bob doesn't allow wall paper, and there is some awesome wall paper, I pushed down on photo 2 and searched with lens, it found curtains and drapes and wall art and wallpaper, but no name, tried searching with bliss nails but don't know the name of your town, try that. I would love to know the artist name.

    1. I thought you would Sandra :) I'd like them on my kitchen wall too :) Thanks for looking it up for me. It's in Fairfax but I tried a pretty lengthy search and came up with similar but not the same. I haven't given up yet and will do as Donna suggested and check into the nail store sometime. Thanks again!

    1. It certainly is Ann, it would be a boring old building without the mural. I'm glad they hired someone to brighten it up. I can't tell you how many times I have said we should stop and take photos :) Problem is the traffic was always hectic and we always had somewhere else to go, and the moment passed. The stars were aligned this time, lol!

    1. We see them in a lot of places here too Jennifer. This is my favorite as there's one not too far away that I don't know what it is looking at it. I'm puzzled every time I go by it. On these occasions I wish I could talk to the artist to see if I could understand it better :)
