Downtown Wilmington is known for its murals. This Community Garden piece was painted by Jason Morgan to celebrate the area’s love of gardening and farming.
It’s a real show stopper.
There’s even a cat and he looks incredibly realistic.
In fact the entire scene seems realistic, as though the people could say howdy and offer you a tomato.
Find this mural on Locust Street in the city’s historic downtown.
The farmers were busy Saturday. I saw multiple tractors, trucks packed with hay, and other assorted equipment I recognized but couldn’t name. They work hard and our roads often cut through their fields.
This guy hauling hay had a whole string of traffic behind him and they all passed safely on this straight stretch. It was like watching a parade go by as I was waiting to photograph a barn.
Unfortunately, unsafe passing is all too common.
Be patient if you find yourself behind a slow moving farmer. They’re just doing their job.
