Now that the Christmas season is over for the year, I retired the poinsettias and holly from the mailbox and replaced them with a nice spring mix of daisies and sunflowers. After all, it will be spring soon enough and we want to get in the mood for it. Click on the image to enlarge.
Taken on Christmas Day, 2013. Verna, Bay Bay, Bob and Cabela. Yes, it was shirtsleeve weather. Click on the image to enlarge.
Every once in a while, I get to capture an image that ranks right up there with some of Verna’s best photos. This time, it was purely unintentional, in that I went out to photograph some shrubs with a before photo before I started on trimming them. When I got out to the palo verde where Damsel had decorated the green tree with some red Christmas ornaments for the season, a butterfly suddenly came out of nowhere and posed on one of her ornaments.
Chalk this one up to luck – AND the fact that there are still butterflies, songbirds, humming birds and other critters that remain here in spite of the cooler temperatures. We LOVE being in Arizona! Click here to see the full-sized photo.
P.S. Happy Birthday, VERNA!
Another day, another colorful Arizona sky. Click on the image to enlarge.
