When was this, Vlad?

Not sure exactly without digging through the records. It must have been during one of our several trips to St. Pete, FL, in 2012-2013.

Pingback: Face (in Flowers) | What's (in) the picture?
The startling green androgynous face and the indifferent GBH make this a perfect shot. So glad to be back in the States at my daughter’s house where good WiFi reigns.

I don’t know what we would do without WiFi… it certainly makes blogging a lot easier! Welcome back!! :-)

Totally didn’t occur to me that art would just be visible by those kayaking. Curious now to explore this type of street art some more.

Well, visible from kayaks and other small boats—and in some cases also clearly created from a boat, on surfaces that could only be accessed from a boat. See more here.

…..so it’s not strictly for the birds then?
Like it actually – and wonder where or on what the artist perched.
p.s. Just read of man-eating crocodiles in Florida swamps.
Be careful out there……

As this photo shows, the birds don’t always seem to appreciate the efforts made on their behalf…
This graffito was under a low bridge, and you could scramble down to it from the roadway above at low tide—so not too difficult to make, in this case. (In contrast to others.)
Yes, if the Nile crocodiles multiply, their presence will escalate the reptile threat significantly, as they are much more aggressive than the ordinary American alligators. Almost as aggressive as the saltwater crocodiles that we saw in Australia last summer… ;-) Fortunately, the Nile crocodiles don’t seem to be breeding in Florida—yet.
