umbrella tree

I pass this tree every day on my way to work. All of a sudden one day early this month, it was covered in red umbrellas. Then there were signs all over the area with hearts on it. Advertising for a Valentines Day contest/sale type thing in the area. Another shop had a little red convertible Volkswagon Beetle parked out front with a heart on the side of it.The umbrellas (as well as everything else related) disappeared a few days ago. Now I miss them.
