YES, early December 2014, during the Winter Sojourn 2014/15 tour.
Yes, I am still 4 years behind in my trip posts.
During our stay in Tucson in December 2014 we visited the botanical gardens at the Tohono Chul. (They have a web site, and currently seem to have a presence in many social media sites, such as Facebook and Twitter.)
It is a delightful place and well worth a visit when you are in the area.
A blast of color as we enter:
This is a rather large hunk of copper ore with azurite and Malachite, a donation to Tohona Chul. Love the turquoise color.
There were a number of artistic renditions of local creatures, adding a bit of whimsy to the gardens.
This is a bronze, titled "Reclining Coyote", by Mark Rossi.
This is "Horse", materials are reclaimed metal, artist, Kioko Mwitiki.
A lovely gate - -
Every garden needs a bird feeder, or two.
A stairwell, and plants, and ahhhhh - -
If you look closely, you will see, yes, a hummingbird.
A truly delightful afternoon.
