The hummingbirds just love these Cleveland Sage Flowers in the courtyard. There were several of the hummers out there this morning browsing the many flowers on the three sage bushes. Click on the image to enlarge.

Downtown Succulent Garden
We went downtown today to shop for Mother’s day. Just outside of the shopping plaza, there was a planter with several varieties of succulents growing. In addition to these desert succulents, there was a covering of iceplant on the floor of the planter. We usually don’t see iceplant in the desert since the cottontails, jack rabbits, squirrels and javelina would find this spineless succulent a tasty snack. Click on the image to enlarge.
A Cardinal at the Block Feeder
I was walking up the RV drive after taking pictures of our new thrasher chicks when I spotted this bright red cardinal on the block feeder. I pointed my camera and took several telephoto images. This one seemed to be the best, so I’m posting it here. Click on the image to enlarge.
The Weird Cactus Gets A Flower
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
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.
Xeriscape
Verna took this photo of a xeriscape garden over by the golf course a mile from here. We had just finished eating at the restaurant in the clubhouse. She took several pictures over there today, some of which she will be posting on the book of face.
While the Xeriscape above was being photographed, I was photographing the Xeriphotographer. Click on the image to enlarge.
