Sheila Newton Team -- Anderson & Greenville SC Real Estate , the blooming tree sculpture makes us think about spring all year round. The yellow flowers are on pin-wheels and create the sense of movement when there is wind. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.

Hi Debe Maxwell , thanks for stopping by. These street art installations are poppoing around Tempe, and it's fun for me to learn the history of each one.
Steffy - what beautiful trees. They really look real. Streetscape art is really great.

Grant Schneider , this installation received a third place in a national public art campaign, sponsored by Kris Wine and Americans for the Arts. It was fun to look at all the public art installations on their website. The pinwheels of the tiny yellow flowers make the sculture tree so charmingly real.
