The Chrome, the paint, the shine, the smell, Okay you can’t smell it.

The bright colors and clean engines are enough to pay the price of admission and show up with your camera.

Tohono Chul Photo Walk

This past week we took a short afternoon photo walk in Tohona Chul Park. We knew two days of rain and snow were on the way. We had never been to the park during the day. Besides we had a Groupon, we had to use before the end of the year. It was a sunny afternoon and we shoot quite a few photos. But it wasn’t the same as going to the desert and discovering things without little placards telling you the name of every plant, tree, and leaf.

More Wildflowers around AZ

Poppies are out every where

The experts thought the rains came to late to germinate the annuals.  The annuals thought otherwise, they are out in abundance.  And the hills are beautiful.

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah

I imagine being a flower and bully at the same time is tough.  My sympathy to all bullies born as flowers.

Shining in the Sun

When it cools down here in the desert during the winter months we can grow some really nice flowers.  During the hot summer months we are limited to outdoor flora (cactus).  There are more flowers than just cactus flowers in the summer, but you get the idea.

Life is pretty Good By a Log

Weather has been rainy and cold here this week.  Not a lot of sun.  Thought I’d change that, at least here.

Seeking attention but not by me
