THis actually an awesome new mural on Washington (main street) Sequim. The cows and chicken look so realistic, like they’re really sticking out of the door.

Creamery Square Mural
We have a lot of really cool murals in Sequim. This is the newest found in Creamery Square on the now quilting shop.
Victoria murals
This is one of three murals on the side of a building in Victoria B.C. As best I can tell it’s been painted inside old window frames.
It’s beautifully detailed. I had to zoom in to confirm whether the hummingbird feeder was real or painted on the mural. It’s painted. Notice the two hummers on the mural?
Did you notice bubbles floating across the other two murals? This is where they’re coming from.
They’re on an otherwise unremarkable wall. But they certainly brighten up the neighborhood. They are signed “Maltry 2010.”
Back to Whimsy Park
I showed you Whimsy Park several years ago here when it was just getting started. I dropped by recently with a mission I’ll tell you about tomorrow.
Since I first showed it to you in 2017 the landscaping has matured. A formerly bare portion of the wall shown above now has a neutral backing for a small stage that hosts occasional live entertainment. Small trees are beginning to mature though late on a winter’s day I didn’t photograph them.
Interesting characters overlook the scene.
This little park is on East Washington Street in downtown Sequim next to Jose’s Famous Salsa restaurant.
Tree of Heaven
This sailing ship mural is on the side of a building in Port Townsend. When I searched for information about it I was surprised to learn that it was “a gift from the Chinese in the 1800s.” And that was it for detail.
Summer scene
A fence near Old Olympic Highway has sprouted a new mural. It captures a classic summer garden moment and I know it will brighten my days as I pass it during winter.
Whimsy Park
The temporary former location of the Sequim Farmer’s Market has taken on a new life. “Whimsy Park” is something of a popup park that has transformed a previously bare lot on Washington Street. A mural that was incomplete several months ago is now enhancing a space with picnic tables, a small stage, and straw bale seating.
Landscaping has been installed and wood chips soften the look of formerly bare soil. The space is inviting, colorful, and far more welcoming than it previously was.
