Taking the dogs for an after dinner walk, we looked down the road from our house and saw this nice desert mountain scape with a waxing gibbous moon this afternoon. Click on the image to enlarge.

These are just absolutely beautiful! Click on the image to enlarge.
Bishop’s Hat Cactus Flowers
We had a beautiful “second spring” day today in which the temperature got up to about 78°. Most areas of the country refer this sort of weather as “Indian Summer,” but here it’s second spring. After all, summer here is more like 102° and who wants that after summer is over.
These beautiful flowers opened on my Bishop’s Cap cactus. I also had some flowers open on the Devil’s Tongue. Click on the image to enlarge.
Splash Time
The Mama and the Daddy took us to the dog park today. I had a lot of fun running around and when the Mama filled up the tub with water, I took a dip and splashed around. It was fun! Click on the image to enlarge.
Hidden Cacti in the Outback
I posted about a hidden hedgehog cactus a few days ago. Verna and I went up to the outback to look at the hidden cactus and found several more flowering cacti up there. I took photos and posted them in the slideshow above. Click on the image to advance to the next of four images.
Obviously, I have to make a project of removing some of the deadwood and trim away other vegetation obscuring the cacti. I hope to be able to return to the outback in the springtime to make another slideshow of the flowers on these cacti.
