always desirable

A very charismatic ghost sign:




And some carousel ponies. Two different moods?





I have all kinds of things I want to post about, but it all takes time, so I offer these as placeholders in the meantime. Which mood of carousel horse are you these days? And what, besides (apparently!) Ceresota Flour, is always desirable?

I am fascinated by ghost signs. There are many in Winnipeg, Manitoba - where my parents live. If I get downtown when I'm there in mid-June I'll take some more pictures of them. I feel more like the second carousel horse - the silvery one with a dark snout.

I look forward to photos of Winnipeg's ghost signs!

The second horse seems to me to have a pensive, even shy, quality to him--not to say that you do, necessarily! But I see that in the way he looks up at us, but with his head tipping downward.

I found two pictures I took in Winnipeg in 2011. I am sure I took many more pictures over the years, but I don't have them organized in a way that makes them easy to find. One of these is of some Winnipeg ghost signs, and the other is of a sign with a *ghost*! If you click on each of the pictures you can see them more clearly as much larger images.

Oooh, I really love the mural underneath the ghost sign for Hotel McLaren (which I love advertises itself as "a friendly place") And the ghost in the second is accompanied by sea birds! I feel like if I got out my bird ID book, we could figure out what ones they are.
