Windsor Alley Metamorphosis: Butterfly Lane

Butterflies are often seen as beautiful, mysterious and hold a special symbolism and meaning. They are considered a metaphor representing transformation, change, courage, hope, and life. Welcome to Butterfly Lane. 

Thanks to the Brain Injury Association of Windsor & Essex County, residents, city councillor, Chris Holt, and many local artists, the 1100 block of Devonshire Road is bursting with butterflies. The Butterfly Lane mural project was created to raise awareness and the prevalence of brain injury in our community and is quite the sight to see.

A snapshot of just a few favourite art pieces from our walk

One of my favourite movie lines from Ferris Bueller's Day Off reminds me that "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it."  I'm so glad we stumbled across this little area. I had no idea it even existed, but that's the fun of exploring the city you live in, you always find new things you never encountered before. 

I hope you enjoy your stroll through Butterfly Lane as much as we did.
