Friend, Debbie came for a visit during some of the hottest weather.
Storm photos later.
We decided to look for and find some of the outstanding Tucson Public Art.
It is everywhere in Tucson.
We picked Saturday, less people and cars in the business side of Tucson.
I drove with the Air Condition on super high (it was a charming 107 that day)
Debbie jumped out and took most of the photo. Fabulous !
Also a few of mine that I could take while sitting in the car.

One of my favorite. The firebird sparkles during the day, lights up at night.
In a very green area of small offices next to The Children's Museum.

This Century Plant has all the counties in Arizona on it.

ReplyDeleteI meant to write that. One reason why I like it so much it brought in some of the world to Tucson. It is placed in one of the prettiest parts of the city.
DeleteMany call it the Firebird.
Rattlesnake Bridge- what a sight to see!
ReplyDeleteA favorite ! It is quite big.
DeleteYou need to walk it to feel the air, bridge, rumble of traffic, fabulous !
I like all of the pictures, but that big bee really won me over.
ReplyDeleteJust wait till you see the "Batcycle" so cute !
DeleteGayle, I don't know if you saw my reply to you on my blog post of a couple of days ago, but we LOVED the package you sent!!! Ginger and George think those chips are delicious! Thank you so much. That was incredibly thoughtful of you!
ReplyDeletethehamish loved the chips. We talked when Ginger was sick and wanted to send them. But the box sat on my desk for all that time.
DeleteThat was one of the last letters thehamish wrote. He was a gud dug.
Love the horses most. Wish they were in my yard. How do you eat the prickly pears. I saw some in the grocery yesterday. I read they make good jelly.
ReplyDeleteThey are a pain. First you have to take off the spines then peal. The fruit is pretty with tiny black seed that will break every tooth in your mouth.
DeleteI have met Cherrie who makes the syrup, candy and juice. Really just buy hers off the shelve.
Wow! Great sculptures, love the rattlesnake bridge.
ReplyDeleteI wish you could walk it !
DeleteYou would love it.
Wow, these art works are all so impressive! I really like the church. The view from inside with blue sky in the back - it's beautiful. The shadow is very lovely, too!
ReplyDeleteThe t-shirt designs is so cute :-)
The church is very small on a tiny lot and so wonderful.
DeleteWhat a beautiful city Tucson is. It is many years since we visited but that art work is wonderful Gayle.
ReplyDeleteThere is so much to see and so wonderful.
DeleteWhat fun pictures! I especially like that crazy rattlesnake bridge!
ReplyDeleteThat's the best Public Art I've seen, and the bicycle church is inspired. What a lovely city Tucson is
ReplyDeleteAll beautiful! Rattlesnake Bridge would give me pause, but....
ReplyDeleteI see you found some cute t-shirts. Collin found one on Facebook--Godzilla on the GoT Iron Throne, declaring, "This throne is MINE!"
beautiful pictures! I especially like that crazy rattlesnake bridge!
