Desert Blooms
I didn't expect to find so many cactus blooming here in the Phoenix area...but they are. Ivory yucca and these beautiful yellow beavertail like cactus along with some hot pink blooms. There are saguaro cactus all around the area and some beautiful palo verde trees that are blooming brilliant yellow. I'm looking for some good photo ops on that tree. I love the variety of trees, flowers and birds that we encounter. Today, walking the dogs along the wash, we flushed out a half dozen rabbits that Adrienne wanted to chase and came within a couple of feet of red throated hummingbirds in the shrubbery. Truly...it's "take time to smell the roses" time. And for some truly outstanding flower shots...visit daughter Laura's website!
