Monday Mural - Birds and Bees

If you like murals or have a mural you'd like to post, this meme is for you; just follow the Linky steps below.   Once you start looking you find murals everywhere. Be sure to link back to this blog and visit your fellow posters.        Looking forward to your mural finds posted this week. Monday mural meme is posted at 12,01am Monday, Western Australian time.  Thanks, Sami.

On Friday I met up with two former colleagues in the city, and we walked around what is known as Perth's Cultural Centre, to have a look at the new WA Museum.

The Museum will reopen to the public on the 21st of November, after four years of extensive renovations, with a new building and a new name - WA Museum Boola Bardip.

Walking around the block I came across a few murals in a little lane between the Museum and  the Alex Hotel - a small boutique hotel, with this mural being the nicest.

It was apparently just finished last week, and was painted by Ketones 6000 (aka Jerome Davenport) and shows a native Blue Banded bee and a Budgerigar.

I was thrilled with the find 😊.

  5. I am visiting my neighbor Sally, so I must keep this brief. My internet appears to be fine, but my power supply cord has gone bad, at least that is what my computer guru friend Scott thinks. He will try to get a new one for me in town on Monday. If not, he will buy one at Amazon. That's why I'm late visiting today.

    That bee is amazing. I've never heard of a blue banded bee, but we sure need more bees in our lives right now. You spotted a great mural this week, dear Sami.

      Glad you enjoyed the mural, I had never heard of a blue banded bee either.

  6. Good work. I wonder if the birds and the bee is meaningful.

  7. Dearest Sami,
    Well painted but the combination is way out of proportion here, monster sized bees or what?
    Hugs,

      Thanks Mariette.

    2. 👀and still more importance of the pollen on the flowers?

  10. Wow, that is very life-like! I only saw 3 wasps this "summer".
    Hope to visit the museum some day, so far... we cannot book tickets for a flight and I don´t know if our CV-Park is still open (and yes, we want to go to that place again, it´s our "home", shit#y as it has become, sadly).

    1. Thanks Iris. Right now you won't be able to fly to Perth if you are not an Australian. And the returning Australians have to quarantine for 2 weeks in a hotel before being allowed out in the community. I presume the caravan park would be open to accommodate those that might live there.
      I see a lot of bees in our garden around the flowers

    1. Thanks SC. I had never heard of a blue banded bee before either, but it's an Australian native bee.
      Very strange that my comments are going to spam, nothing changed in my settings.

  20. After reading parts of the World Wildlife Fund's report on how over population affects wildlife, this mural seems pretty special. We need our bees and we need our wildlife.
