As far as I know, there is only one more onion to show you in this series. I hope to get a picture of it soon. And if I've missed one, someone should let me know so I can get a photo of it and post it here for the rest of the world to enjoy. This onion is one of the few I've seen vandalised. The beautiful rust-orange pieces of glass can be seen picked off and on the ground at the base of the onion. It made me sad to see that; this is one of my favourite onions. And some artist spent HOURS cementing each small square to this orb, and someone disrespected that effort and talent enough to ruin it in a few short moments. Sad, really.

More Sweet Art
Well, I finally got some more photos of the onions I haven't posted yet. For those of you who don't know, I started a series a while back of the Walla Walla Sweet Onion Art that began gracing our downtown Main Street last year. Each one was decorated by a different artist, and each one has a unique style. I like them all! This one made me chuckle...not because of that photo above, but for what I found on the other side. A close-up is posted below. At least it's keeping our streets a tad cleaner, right?
