Tempe Arizona's Festival of the Arts - Photo Gallery

You never know what you will find on Mill Avenue. As we headed home from the Tempe Festival of the Arts, we happened upon this huge rabbit sculputure all decorated for Christmas. The artist is Mark Rossi. The rabbit is part of an installation of three cast bronze Blacktail Jackrabbits, standing 8-, 12- and 14-feet high and weighing between 1,000 and 1,500 pounds each. Blacktail jackrabbits are a common sight in Arizona and are native to the desert surrounding the cities.
