Good advice~!

Happy weekend, everyone!

Tucson is Cat Crazy ~

The Wildcats basketball team gets big support in Tucson! All over town business owners cheer them on. Isn't this vintage sign great?

Bubbles fence ~

I always love to see anything utilitarian turned into something whimsical or beautiful. Here's a piece of fun fencing downtown just off of Congress Street.

Tucson's Mission to Mars ~

On the south-facing wall of a building on Drachman near Stone Avenue the UA-led Mission to Mars is celebrated by this brilliantly colored mural. The Phoenix Mission (slightly confusing name as the University of Arizona in Tucson, not Phoenix, was a lead in the project) launched in late 2007 and landed on Mars in May, 2008.

Worth the wait ~

This jasmine was planted in my back yard two years ago. The first year it did not bloom at all. Last year it produced a few flowers. Naturally, I was disappointed that I wasn't going to get the floral view I wanted to see from my kitchen window. But then... this year - wow! This is a pink jasmine - it produces pink buds and white flowers. It was certainly worth the wait!

Time Machine Offers 4 Choices ~

On this interesting property tour, I've saved the Time Machine for last. The artist offers the time traveler four choices: 1/Return to your youth but know what you know now; 2/Return to your youth; when you come back you won't know now what you didn't know then; 3/Stay present in the present; and 4/Go forward to your old age; when you come back you probably won't remember much.

Fish (on a ) Stick

I really like this fish/shark/dolphin sculpture. In the background you can see a few of the other pieces created by this artist. And do scroll back for a few days to see even more of this artist's work.
