Christmas Morning: Touring Yuma's Murals

 Yuma has commissioned murals and the City is very proud of them.  At 10:00 am Eric and I went looking for them.  

There's no traffic at this time of day.

Everyone is home opening presents.

The first mural is on the

Arizona Western College.

This mural's theme is Environmental Awareness.

The Sonoran Pronghorn &

Yuma Clapper Rail are two

of Arizona's Endangered

Species.

The next mural is Flor del Desierto (Desert Flower).  The artist wants people to examine it closely.

Del Sol Market hosts this

mermaid gliding on a 

sea of desert sand.

Clad in desert flowers, she

looks intently at a

 baby Jaguar.

Her lower body is covered

in flowers.  

A small desert bird sits 

among the flowers, on

the right.

Her tail is made of Cacti

with a red desert bird

perched among them.

There are two murals in

historic downtown Yuma.
