"Odd" just doesn't seem to adequately cover this ~

Here's the follow up to yesterday's unusual photo of the front of this house. This is the side yard and yes, this seems to be a nativity of sorts - with black statuary wearing white robes. And the animals include sheep, lions, and rabbits. I look forward to comments on this one!

Please suggest a caption!

I am just not sure what is going on at this house! Buckets and pots of artificial flowers, hanging strings of icicles, a green garland framing the wall, a giant butterfly on the gate, birds, rabbits......  there is a LOT going on! Can someone please suggest a caption OTHER than "Random Weird Thing" please? And do check back tomorrow to see what is in their side yard..... oh my.

MORE unusual Tucson babies!

The Desert Museum is excited to announce the birth of Pacific Seahorse babies! There were approximately 300-400 born and they are residing off-exhibit in the Herpetology collections area. This is the FIRST seahorse birth at the Museum and they can not predict how many will survive as there tends to be a high mortality rate. The little ones are barely 1/4" long and very fragile! Welcome, aquarium babies!

Water is the Gift of Life ~

Grace St Paul's Episcopal Church on Adams Street has staked out a large territory for themselves to promote diversity and to assist people with disabilities. The church has a vigorous program to provide food for the homeless and to fight discrimination. This water barrel on the property symbolizes their support of providing water to border crossers.

Old Fashioned Signage ~

Fun, eye catching, and right to the point - Pete's Vacuums on Alvernon shows you their specialty with a life sized vacuum. Love it!

Juice Bar (2 photos) ~


Arizona's beautiful saguaro flowers can be seen everywhere now. (Did you know it's the state flower?) This beauty is in my front yard. In the 2nd photo you can see a bee zooming in for some nectar from that white blossom! Mmmm!
