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.
I heard about "The Little Banksia Cafe" from one of my French class colleagues, and because it's 5 minutes from the clinic, I drove there one day after work to have a peep.
Imagine my surprise to find a mural on the outside wall. Not easy to photograph as the outdoor area was full of people, and big umbrellas...
Painted by Perth artist Anya Brock, at 78 Banksia Terrace, in the suburb of Kensington.

...banksia is a beauty, we see them in Maui. Thanks Sami for hosting, take care and enjoy your week.
ReplyDeleteThanks Tom. I think a lot of our vegetation must be quite similar to the one in Hawaii.
DeleteThank You, Sammi. I love your new night header
ReplyDeleteThanks Cloudia, it was taken on WA Day (as per my last post)
DeleteA very pretty mural and what a view from there.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sharon. It was a surprise to see the great view.
DeleteElephant's Child, a fellow Australian blogger, showed photos of real Banksias on her blog today. Your mural is beautiful. And photos of Perth in the distance are stunning.
ReplyDeleteThanks Elizabeth, those are the Birthday candle banksias on EC's blog (Banksia spinulosa). There are lots of varieties and they are so pretty.
DeleteThanks for clarifying the difference. It is good to know.
DeleteThey grow to be pretty big trees, we have them here too
ReplyDeleteThanks Amy :)
DeleteBeautiful shots.
ReplyDeleteThanks William :)
DeleteDearest Sami,
ReplyDeleteGlad you drove those 5 minutes to Banksia for finding this great mural and some more surprises.
The city view is also incredible.
Hugs,
Mariette
Thanks Mariette, yes a worthwhile drive and great find :)
Delete🤗
DeleteI like the unconventional colours in the painting. They are great city views indeed.
ReplyDeleteThanks Andrew. The views were a surprise :)
DeleteI failed to read the sign properly - the flowers are edible?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flower either way ... and mural of course. I fail also to find good ones in your old home...
I don't think the flowers are edible, they are there to protect veggies from bugs, but they had mostly herbs.
DeleteBeautiful mural. Loved all pics.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice week ahead.
Thank you Rupam, enjoy your week too.
DeleteFicou um ambiente belo e acolhedor.
ReplyDeleteBoa semana
Obrigada Pedro, boa semana.
DeleteShe is such a talented artist, lovely idea to combine the name of the cafe with the mural. The sign made me smile Sami, I often feel like putting a sign on my front lawn 'don't leave smelly surprises behind, take them with you' :) :)
ReplyDeleteGreat combination of name and mural :)
DeleteMaybe you should put up that sign Grace, some people need to be reminded sadly.
Um belo mural.
ReplyDeleteUm abraço e boa semana.

ReplyDeleteThanks Arnaud, yes a friendly place.
DeleteThe mural is lovely and the herb garden is a great idea. I wish we had one in our neighbourhood!
ReplyDeleteThanks David. Fremantle for example is an old suburb with lots of verge herb gardens. Maybe you should start one in your neighbourhood :)
DeleteLooks like my kind of neighbourhood!
ReplyDelete18C would be my kind of winter!
