Well, not really. 😉
But on my way to the park for my Sunday stroll today, I came across this beautiful new mural which made me believe that, despite the cold temperatures, it could well be Spring. 🙂

I think winter has a firmer grip on Canada as it has on Germany in general, I imagine it to be quite tough.
Have a wonderful new week ahead!

I LOVE that mural. I would stay there all day and maybe even put a table and chair there to sit and soak it up. We finally have some sunshine though it’s still quite chilly. I love the sunshine. Spring is here early as usual with buds popping out and the garden is calling me but I’m not quite ready. That mural could get me ready though. Thanks for sharing.

The murals are in our temple Children’s Library, so they’re fairly high up the walls. We couldn’t put children’s books up that high and the bare walls were unattractive, so I volunteered to paint a series of scenes relating to Jewish holidays and stories. I’ve discovered that many kids do not look up. Kids who have been in the library dozens of times don’t know the murals were there. Our cantor, at our temple for a year, didn’t discover them until a few weeks ago.
It’s OK – keeps the ego in check. God makes me laugh.

That’s too bad that your beautiful murals are situated that high on the wall. Humans have a tendency to not look up, I really don’t know why. And now I understand why taking their pictures is a bit complicated. 😉
