The Ship

 I may have posted this mural on a fence previously. But if so, we were driving too fast past it. This time we happened to be stopped and I got a few good shots.The tree is real, and not part of the mural.




You can barely see the lady with the parasol walking past, so I cropped it to give you a better look.

Glad that you could stop to take better shots of the mural. She is a pretty fair lady, like in the movie, My fair lady.

Amazing! I want to do murals on my storage buildings!

What a fun mural. Until I saw the cropped picture of the lady with the parasol I thought it looked like a baker with one of those big baker hats on.

I love murals, and photos of murals. wish you and i were able to drive around together spotting them and taking photos. today header might be the best one ever. is it a shot of a white out snow? a close up of a white dress?😁

I came back to add a ps, and the photo of the tree and ship is the header, it was totally white when i came before. now i can't remember the PS, but i like the tree looking like it is painted on the mural.

I love this! I wish we saw more things like it around.

This is definitely a big step up from a white-washed fence! It's really neat.

I think who did that fence is an adventurer.

? Do you have any special and reasonable place to order puzzles?

Such a happy mural. I wonder about its story! I answered your questions you left on my blog! Thanks for visiting! Stay safe!

Ginny: My son made that little shelf cabinet for my mom when he was in Shop class in high school. That above the mantel is the tv with one of those soft music environment things and a gorgeous pic from YouTube! I do that sometimes during days my son is offline.
