40-52 "the bird code"
Eva: Hey Dave, I think there may be something off to my left.
Dave: I think there's something off to every direction.
Eva: Don't get too metaphysical with me. I was meaning that there is something important off to my left.
Dave: What makes you say that?
Eva: The bird told me.
Dave: Pardon?
Eva: You know, the bird told me. In the mural. I think it's pointing me towards a greater truth.
Dave: Really? I thought it was just a really cool mural painted under the bridge.
Eva: And you would also have been one of those people telling Robert Langdon that the Fibonacci sequence was just a giant coincidence.
Dave: You do realize the "the Da Vinci Code" was a work of fiction?
Eva: Fiction schmiction! This bird is telling me that something important is over that way and I'm going to listen to it.

This summer Saskatoon comissioned local born artist Jerry Rugg (aka BirdO) to do a giant mural under one of the bridges. When I saw the mural I had a feeling it would show up in Eva's 52 week project. The giant birds were too much of a symbol to ignore. Yesterday we made the trip there to do the photos, and Eva made friends with a very pleasant woman who happened to be the artist's mother. She mentioned how her son sis not yet have a full panorama of the painting, so I tried my hand at one after getting this shot of Eva. The lighting was tough, but the whole mural is linked in the comments below.
Seemingly random happenings like this make me realize just how small the world is. It has also reinforced how sharing my photography, including the taking of the photos, has changed many things in my life including moments lived and opportunities taken. For my self this photo is now more than just a photo of Eva in front of a mural. To me it is more about the story behind the photo, and the community that art can bring together.
More information about the mural and the artist are linked in the panoramic photo below.
