Theme Day: Fountains

Phoenix is full of fountains both large and small and I’ve featured many of them on this site. When you live in a desert, the need to see water becomes almost obsessive. So instead of another grand, large fountain, today I’ll feature one of my favorite small fountains. This one is located in the Desert Botanical Garden and I stop by to see it on every visit. I’m not sure why. It is very simple but I guess I love its simplicity.
