When we got to Phoenix in our RV campground, we saw so many beautiful desert flowers. I took this picture of a barrel cactus near our campsite. The pretty yellow flowers circled the top like a crown. Click on the image to enlarge.
Stargazer Season is Back
My favorite Asian lily is back in the flower concession at the supermarket. These beautiful “Stargazer” lilies are currently showing in the living room. Click on the image to enlarge.
A Blue Anemone
Well, we’re back home from vacation and other than the post-travel chores, it’s back to normal until the next time. While were were gone, the first of the St, Brigid Anemone flowers emerged. This is a blue one, but we’re expecting other colors to come out from bulbs I planted in February. Click on the image to enlarge.
Beavertail Cactus Flowers
We’re home again after our wonderful spring vacation & NRA 2A Blogbash trip. No time left in the day to write anything extensive, so enjoy these beautiful beaver tail cactus flowers we saw today at Joshua Tree National Park.
Arizona and California RR
I like trains.
My Grand Daddy was a railroad engineer and my Dad worked on the rail powerhouses when he was young. I get a gleam in my eye and the wanderlust associated with rail travel every time I see a train headed one way or the other. Today, that sense of wanderlust got renewed when we passed this convoy of tanker cars pulled by two Arizona and California locomotives headed west on US highway 60 near Salome, Arizona.
Verna took this pix (and about 450 others today) as we passed the train. Click image to enlarge.
Going Camping with My Hu-mins
This is my hu-lady walking me. I recognize her name as ‘mama.’ She loves me. My hu-man, ‘daddy,’ took this picture of me walking with mama to the smelly place where I GO when we camp.
