When Pigs Fly

 

I was searching through some photos I took a few years ago on a drive through New Mexico when I spotted this one with a sort of mural painted on the side of the building.

I cropped the photo to get a better look and sure enough, there is a mural painted on this building with lots of southwestern animals prancing across the shop's exterior.  The shop is called "When Pigs Fly" a retail shop.  The photo was taken in 2015 in Truth or Consequences New Mexico. A quick internet search and I see that the place is permanently closed now.  Too bad, it has a great name and I like the whimsical mural.

The shop might be closed but it still makes a nice addition to Monday Murals.

The burning question is, why isn't there a flying pig in their mural? Maybe if they'd included one they'd still be in business!
