Dedicated To Martha

I drove into my downtown Nati City to show you something special.
Parking is easy in my new Tub Car.

Martha, lived out her last days at the Cincinnati Zoo.
Martha was the last passenger pigeon on Earth.
Extinct gone forever, what was once the most numerous bird species in America.
 Martha died in 1914.
6,500 square feet on a side of a downtown building we have a mural.
ArtWorks reproduced an original John A. Ruthven.  A masterpiece.
It took 103 days to be completed.  Look at the size of the passenger pigeon's wing compared to me in the center bottom of the picture.
The mural is dedicated to Martha and Passenger Pigeons.
How I, Sweet William The Scot, wish I could have seen Martha and her flocks fly.
Lets all work together to not let another species go extinct.
Here in this two minute video you can watch the mural being painted.
Hit the YouTube if you want full screen.


Well now I got to pick up my girl friend Bella for the dance over at Christmas' Blog.
Hope Bella likes my stylish Tub Car.

Thanks for being a friend
Traveling down the road and back again
Your heart is true and your a friend of  mine
Signing Off 
Sweet William The Scot

Psss ~ Don't Bella and I, Sweet William, cut the rug magnificently.

  3. It is so sad about Martha and her fellow birds. Man is so very cruel to others. Love your Tub- mobile. You and Bella Rock the dance floor. Hope you are staying cool in this heat, but I must prefer the heat to the cold winter.

  9. Thank you so much Sweet William for showing us that truly awesome mural. Gail has read about passenger pigeons and their sad fate at the hands of her species. We join you in hoping for no more pointless and destructive extinctions. (As scientists we do understand that 'natural' extinctions are part of evolution).

    I love this post. Although it's absolutely heartbreaking that passenger pigeons are extinct, the mural is gorgeous. And you traveling in your bathtub made me smile after an incredibly hard week.

    Lots of love to you, Sweet William.
