The Weird Cactus Gets A Flower

Weird Cactus

I brought this cactus from California just after we moved here over three years ago. I don’t know the name of this variety of cactus, but it has long arms that hang over the side of the pot. This is the first and only flower that opened up on this unusual cactus since it’s been here in Arizona. Click on the image to enlarge.

Dog Park Day

Burnout

The Mama and Daddy took us to the dog park again today. We were wearing our brand new pink and blue harnesses. We had fun again. I found a hole where I could go pee pee and Bay Bay was scratching the ground after he went pee pee. Click on our pictures to make us big.

It just doesn’t get a whole lot better than this. Verna snapped this photo of me in the patio spa this afternoon while I was relaxing from all the retirement I did today . . . 😉

Flowers in the Wash

I saw a splash of color up in the wash behind our house yesterday, so I grabbed my Canon SX40 camera and hiked up there. When I got to the beavertail cactus, there was a large pink flower open. I hiked up a little higher to the prickly pear cactus and found several yellow flowers open there. I posted photos of the pink and yellow flowers above, but I also took another of a pair of prickly pear yellow flowers and uploaded it here. Click on either flower above to view full size.
