Big pink
I love this tree, big and pink, just standing there. It's in an empty spot that has been the site of several art installations -- a pair of life-size deer, I believe, and a gorgeous horse caught in mid-gallop, circling around a crouching figure of early man.
I think it's perfect just the way it is, wish it could stay that way, but in a city where downtown land is measured in increments, by dollars per retail foot, I suspect Big Pink's days are numbered.
