Below, the eye confuses the sculpture in the foreground with the tree in the background, losing the dancers in the tree.

I love this Testa sculpture with the ballerina in the Flatmo mural in the background; it's like some sweet, stocky little thing lifting itself up with all of the grace of the ballerina behind it. Every time I look at this photograph, I love the sculpture more.

This is one of my favorite sculptures in Eureka by one of my favorite local sculptors,
Linda Wise. I l-o-v-e love how it has been sited. I think what this horse really needs is a grassy field in which to stand. Many of the original plantings in this bed did not survive the harsh coastal and concrete-planter imposed conditions. I would love to see a mass planting of Mexican Feather Grass
Nassella tenuissima and some repetition of clumps of natives like
Iris douglasiana and a few plantings of Red Flowering Current
Ribes sanguineum. Another simple solution to update this planting median would be to plant California native Carex pansa en masse with occassional plantings of Wormwood
Artemesia 'Powis Castle'. It might be fun to throw a wreath around its neck for the Kentucky Derby too.
