Here is a very interesting sign I found in front of this nondescript block building in north Phoenix. Across the top and bottom it says "Agua Terra Ignis Aura" which is Latin for Water Earth Fire Air. There was no explanation for the sign so I have no idea why it's there. It is very attractive though, don't you think?
Also attracting my attention was this pine branch full of seeds. Another marvel of nature.
Lastly, I spotted this artwork on the side of the freeway retaining wall. It's in an area that is hidden from nearby streets. I only spotted it when I pulled into the parking lot of an apartment complex. It looks like a Native American symbol but it's not one I recognize. To me it looks like three birds eating fish.

A beautiful sign indeed.
Tge four basic elements?
The last is my favourite.
Wow! Birds eating fish, or three people playing harps, or weaving? Did earth sheltered building ever catch on? I was living in Florida when it was being touted, and ground water was a major challenge.
The last one is really intriguing, Sharon! I like the architect office too.
You have been busy. The purple blooms are attractive.
The pink flowers are a redbud tree, I believe. The top sign is mystifying, but it's beautiful! And I agree about the bottom one -- to me they look like pelicans.
Three birds eating fish you say. Hmm... :-)
I love the last one too. I agree with you, it does look like three birds eating fish.
Earth, air , fire and water a reminder of the four elements without which we would not be here. Beautiful post Sharon.
That's a nice collection of photos, Sharon.
Now those cacti in pots are what I'd like in my garden.
