Desert Botanical Gardens are in Phoenix. When you are in the Valley of the Sun, I heartily recommend a visit. In keeping with large photo drops and not a lot of words, here we go.
People think of the desert as barren and colorless, but that's far from the truth. Love the photos, and the sculpture in the garden, and that one-fingered cacti salute!
Great set of photos. I forgot about those two kids standing in front of the sculpture. that's a cute shot and of course, I love the little cactus wren.
All the plants are always so fascinating to see. Beautiful pictures. I still don't think I could live in Arizona.. it looks so barren.

DeleteAnd even a cactus wren. Wow. Wonder what kind of cactus that blue one is.
