Yesterday in Front Royal

I heard that a new mural was being painted in Front Royal so yesterday I drove there, put on a mask and walked down Main Street. I found not one but three new murals in progress!


It seems odd to try to paint outdoors in December but this weekend was very mild. I hope they completed their work because snow is in the forecast on Wednesday. 

I'll have to go back and try to capture the completed murals. It's difficult to do them justice because they are along narrow streets so I cannot stand in the middle and get the entire work in one shot. 





The town square is decorated for the holidays. 

I also drove down Luray Avenue to the boat landing to take a look at the river.

  2. I see lots of birds, they will be quite pretty once finished, but it's a pity when they are painted in narrow streets and you can't photograph them properly. Thanks for contributing to Monday Murals Linda.

  11. Linda - I continue to be amazed by how many murals you find in your area. I love woodpeckers, so I think that would be my favorite if I had to choose. We don't have a town square per se, so it is nice to see your decorations! Thanks for linking to Mosaic Monday!
