Delay

Sorry for the delay in posting... Life just gets busy and I don't always have the time to post like I would like. Anyway, here are some pics from our visit to the Botanical Gardens and butterfly exhibit. Who knew there were so many different types of cactus. :) I would have liked to spend more time there, so I am looking to make a return trip in the near future... Anyway hope you like these.

Flowers

Spring is in the air. Seems like a good time to post some flower pics I took recently while out and about. :)

Tractors

Here are some more pics from the zoo... I thought these came out kind of interesting.

Bizarro land

Here is my daughter on a giant frog at the zoo.

Me

Ok so these are not the greatest pics... the originals are blurry and out of focus. It happens. But after some work, I felt like they were interesting enough to post. I actually like the the last one with the double take the best...

Images from my backyard

Yes these pics were all taken in my backyard just this morning. Please don't laugh. I know the grass and weeds are like waist high. We do not normally get so much rain in the desert, so normally our backyard is a little more desert-ish. Apparently when it rains here they figure it may be awhile before they see water again, so they soak up as much as possible. LOL.

I do love the rain though... maybe it is because we do not get a lot. It just makes everything so... clear.

Anyway just thought these were interesting enough to post.
Thanks!

Desert Images

We spent the morning hiking in this beautiful weather we have been having. Here are some of the photos that I took while we were out on our most excellent adventure. :)
