In 12 years, this garden mural has grown

The last time I visited the beautiful little street Calle de Jardin (Garden) was 2010. This June (2022) I was checking out a nearby mural for sale (including the house behind it). I walked a block west to see one of my favorite murals. I saw that it had changed:
Here's the center in 2010:
The prickly pear cactus are gone… and the quail must have eaten a lot of food in the past 12 years. :)

Next, closeups from left (north) to right (south), ending with the cute mailbox:

There are closeups of the mailbox in today's post Flashback to this garden box: 103 South Calle de Jardin on the Tucson Mailbox Art blog. Manny Garcia painted the original mural. I'm not sure if he made the updated version.

Three streets, three murals: #3

Farthest west from Columbus in the series of three murals is the mural that wraps around the corner of Broadway and Calle de Jardin (Garden Street). This one is by Manny Garcia:
I took the photos on February 14, 2010.

Update: Here are links to more photos of the home and of the street just south of here. There are other photos of the area around this blog, the Tucson Mailbox Art blog, and the public art section of TucsonArt.info.

Update (October 14, 2022): The mural has changed. Today's post shows that — and also has close-up photos of the whole mural.
