We took the dogs out this evening and were greeted with this lovely sunset with pink clouds, our big saguaro cactus and the setting crescent moon. We love this place! Click on the image to enlarge.
Home & Garden
Female Cardinal in a Mesquite Tree
The two main reasons we have bird feeders is to attract birds is a) to enjoy seeing the birds they attract and b) to photograph the birds. This colorful female of the cardinal species visited the feeder and then perched in the mesquite tree just above the RV drive behind our patio. Click on the image to enlarge.

More Desert Cactus Flowers Coming Soon
I went scouting around the property today looking for bird nests, new flower buds and anything else spring. I took this photo of some buds developing on a buckhorn cholla cactus alongside the RV drive. Click on the image to enlarge.
Our First Beavertail Cactus Flower
Well, not of all time and there have been other beavertail cacti around town with flowers opening, but this is the first on our property to open. Bob transplanted this cactus from the upper part of our lot to the rock and cactus garden by the RV drive last year. It has many more flower buds that we expect to open soon. We’re glad that this cactus decided to have lots of spring flowers. Click on the image to enlarge.
