After target practice today, we went to the bonsai show at the Botanic Gardens. We also walked into the garden and I snapped a zillion pictures of all the beautiful spring flowers and plants. One place had pansies of all colors including this patch of purple ones. Click image to enlarge.

Last year during our Winter Cruise, I took a 3D picture of the RV parked in one of the campgrounds where we spent the night. I took another set of images and composed this image in the campground in Phoenix where we spent three nights last week.
I got up early one morning to walk Bear, and paused to take the pictures while the sun was still low in the sky. The temperature was (only) 85°, on the way up to 100° or so. Inside the RV, however, it was a comfortable temperature since there is an air conditioner on top that keeps the inside cool when we’re plugged in to the campground electrical hookup, unlike last winter when we ran the propane furnace in the RV to keep warm.
As usual, you can click the image to see it full-sized in the viewer, and for those who do not have the requisite 3D glasses, you can see the 2D version here.

When we got to Phoenix in our RV campground, we saw so many beautiful desert flowers. I took this picture of a barrel cactus near our campsite. The pretty yellow flowers circled the top like a crown. Click on the image to enlarge.

My favorite Asian lily is back in the flower concession at the supermarket. These beautiful “Stargazer” lilies are currently showing in the living room. Click on the image to enlarge.

Well, we’re back home from vacation and other than the post-travel chores, it’s back to normal until the next time. While were were gone, the first of the St, Brigid Anemone flowers emerged. This is a blue one, but we’re expecting other colors to come out from bulbs I planted in February. Click on the image to enlarge.

We’re home again after our wonderful spring vacation & NRA 2A Blogbash trip. No time left in the day to write anything extensive, so enjoy these beautiful beaver tail cactus flowers we saw today at Joshua Tree National Park.

I like trains.
My Grand Daddy was a railroad engineer and my Dad worked on the rail powerhouses when he was young. I get a gleam in my eye and the wanderlust associated with rail travel every time I see a train headed one way or the other. Today, that sense of wanderlust got renewed when we passed this convoy of tanker cars pulled by two Arizona and California locomotives headed west on US highway 60 near Salome, Arizona.
Verna took this pix (and about 450 others today) as we passed the train. Click image to enlarge.
