We bought a dozen of these “Freedom” roses at the supermarket today. I took one of them and some baby’s breath, put it in a swan vase and took it over to Mom’s today. Click on the image to enlarge.

Cereus Cactus Flower
Over the past few days, three of these beautiful cereus cactus flowers opened up. I moved the cactus to the patio where the critters can’t come and eat the flower buds. A lesson learned from last year. Click on the image to enlarge.
Visiting Mom on my Birthday
Verna took this photo of Mom and me during our visit today. It is my 70th today and I have never felt better! Mom is doing good too. Click on the image to enlarge.
Rainbow
It was not raining here, but there must have been a few water droplets to form this faint rainbow seen just east of us this evening as we were walking the dogs. Click on the image to enlarge.
Horse Sculpture
We’re pretty proud of the museum here in town; the Desert Caballeros Western Museum lives up to its motto of “Small Town, Big Museum.” Today, we passed outside of the museum building where this nice metal sculpture of a pair of horses stands. I’m not sure when this sculpture was added, but it has been since we moved here. Click on the image to enlarge.
Quail Chicks Following Papa
We have been seeing lots of quail broods for several weeks now. I spotted a pair and a couple of chicks crossing the road near here and got this shot of them escaping into the desert under a mesquite. Mama is already out of sight but papa leads the two chicks right after her. Click on the image to enlarge.
