Tucson Botanical Gardens
/The Gardens are an oasis in a heavily populated part of Tucson. It is obvious that they have been getting better and better as the many years of their existence have gone by. One of my favorite features was a water fountain that had water coming out of a yucca pod shaped sculpture.
There was a dinosaur garden complete with dinosaur figures and types of plants that existed during that time period.
I’ve never seen so many art bird houses. I took many pictures of the creations. The one to the left is one of my favorites.
There were plenty of lizards - doing pushups and eying the people in their space too. This one looks quite haughty.
The best of the rest are in the slide show below. I realize now that these gardens will be on my list of ‘things to do’ every time I go back to Tucson.
