Monday Murals - Fauna and Flora at Dumond Park

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 painted by Perth artist Melski McVee on an utility box at Dumond Park, (Walpole and Holder streets) in the suburb of St James in June 2023.

The park has recently been upgraded and transformed into an urban forest, sanctuary for the community to relax and connect with nature, with the planting of over 40 trees and 3000 shrubs to provide shade and attract wildlife as well as 3 bee and insect hotels created with the assistance of the students of Bentley Primary School and a new mural was painted.

The park is just 200 metres (656 feet) from Warwick Park, which also got a new mural, which I'll post next week.

    I love owls and is that a raven or a magpie? Either way, very cute!

  17. Dear Sami, I really like the wild animal & flower mural - and it's wonderful that something is being done for REAL nature at the same time ❤️!
    Today you'll get a wall painting from me on an old house (and a mosaic on another house).
    All the best and a happy week
