Monday Mural - Birds in Point Walter

I love murals and street art. 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 will find murals everywhere.  The "Monday Mural" meme goes live on Monday at 12,01AM, Perth,Western Australian time. Be sure to link back to this blog and visit your fellow posters. Looking forward to your mural finds this week.  Thanks, Sami.

Mural seen at Point Walter Reserve, when we met up with some people from the Portuguese Community in December 2020 for our annual Christmas picnic.

This mural of native birds and plants was painted on the toilet blocks, sadly I couldn't find the artist's name. 

There are quite a few Australian artists that paint native fauna and flora, but this one looks very much in the style of Perth artist Melski McVee. If not, hopefully the artist will reveal himself/herself.

  10. Very nice decoration of a public facility. I often wonder if artists look at blogs or other social media and come across or actively look for photos and appreciative words about their works.

  13. Beautiful and you made me laugh, Sami. In Monkey Mia a pelican went after me, boy, was I scared! These birds are big! I had no food even!

    1. Thanks Iris. We actually saw the pelicans being fed in Monkey Mia and then again in a town north of Sydney (The Entrance) where they walked right next to me.
      Monkey Mia sadly suffered some damage during the Seroja Cyclone yesterday, but the worst was Kalbarri with 70% damage.

  21. Love this one Sami, we have so many super talented street artists in Perth. Btw Aimee and I didn't realise we needed tickets for the beach carnival either but because Mark McGowan lifted restrictions on numbers on Friday night we didn't need them.. lucky 😉
