dedicated to the SoAZ Girl Scouts….saturday, dec. 12th ~ noonish.
i was to teach or give a talk on Land Art(think andy goldsworthy), some 20 young girls would participate on the U of A campus and then they could receive their “patch” on visual arts….apparently the tour thru the campus and digital studio kept them waylaid? yes, i waited there diligently for an hour and a half! it was beautiful out and i decided while waiting i’d give them something tangible to understand and view up close/personal. the citrus tree sits approx. 20 yards to the northeast of this old olive. when it became obvious they were not coming i took my photos and left…a treat for myself, the birds, joggers, students…and the mission olive tree in which it resides till earth and nature consume them.

The beautiful mission olive tree appears to sense your thoughts and open her arms to your photo and your gift. I wonder how many people come and sit by this tree and tell her their stories.

I always dream of coming across some art like this. I can only imagine the delight of someone who discovers your offering.
Thank you for sharing it here.
Much love to you,
Mahala
