Goodbye to the "Tanuki"
Those lovable "Tanuki" will be leaving the Desert Botanical Garden in mid-May so I stopped by to say goodbye. The garden had arranged all six of them in the center plaza and they became very popular with everyone who visited. I saw many people (adults and children) posing for pictures next to their favorite one.
I grabbed one more photo of the yellow head too because it was framed by the yellow blooms on a palo verde tree.
I posted a couple of close-up shots of the Tanuki or raccoon-dogs last October. You can see that post here.

They are great and look like fun, Selfie time
They look very funny and colourful!
They truly are funny looking characters.
I remember this from a previous post! I like them because they're funny but not provocative or threatening. And they come in a variety of nice colors. That botanical garden is a wondrous asset to the Phoenix community.
There is a touch of whimsy to them! They're very colourful.
They look great all gathered together!
Farewell to the Tanuki! They ARE great photographic material!
oh very cool and very unique - love them
Very cool, different and unique. I can see why they would be popular with the visitors.
What a shame they have to go Sharon, bet they attracted lots of visitors to the Botanical gardens ✨
