When my friends and I were driving around last weekend looking at houses, we found a little hidden street in Scottsdale where we saw this house. I almost missed those sculpted palm trees. My friend pointed them out. They are not the real kind but they do look real from a distance.
Nearby the palm tree sculpture, we saw this rather abstract buffalo hidden among the desert plants. It was a very short street with only four houses on it but they certainly had a lot of things to admire.
I love finding little surprises when I'm least expecting it. I love those palm tree sculptures!
ReplyDeleteInteresting find. Getting off the beaten track was well worth it for you.
ReplyDeleteThat's a lovely home with the sculpted palm trees and the buffalo is really cool! Great finds!
ReplyDeleteI wonder why they installed sculpted palm trees instead of planting real palm trees?! (The bison, on the other hand, I understand -- I'm sure it eats less than a real bison!)
ReplyDeleteQuite the Mediterranean feel about
ReplyDeleteI could use those palm trees here for a tropical feel in mid winter!
ReplyDeleteNice.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful palm sculptures, the buffalo is a bit scary, but also nice.
ReplyDeleteThe buffalo is very cool!
ReplyDeleteHow interesting! I like the buffalo and I never would have guessed those palm trees are not real.
ReplyDeleteNever knew there were fake palm trees. I like the look and the buffalo is really cool.
ReplyDeleteGosh I'm not sure I would have realised the palms were sculptures if you hadn't said Sharon.. brilliant! The bison is astounding, surprisingly it sits there quite well 😊
ReplyDeleteThat's a gorgeous house (and entry). Not sure why one would need faux palms in Phoenix or why someone would put that gigantic beast in the yard, but to each his/her own. I would have no problem living in that place, though!
ReplyDeleteThere must be something wrong with me. I am invariably happy when I see public art, but when I see conspicuous art in a private home, I wonder about the residents. I need to be less judgmental.
ReplyDeleteOn second thought, nah!
