One of the highlights of the weekend was the trip to the Phoenix Botanical Gardens. Dad was our leader: note the bird check off list ready in hand. With a distinct mechanical advantage, Auntie had “sprinted” already ahead.
Right after this photo was taken the bird actually swooped down into my hands. Upon closer inspection we saw that she was trying to divert us away from her nest which had several eggs in it. Phoenix Botanical Gardens, AZ.
These cactus looked surprisingly like snakes. In fact, they have some kind of internal ability to “twitch” causing the momentary appearance of slithering; or, so it is claimed. Phoenix Botanical Gardens, AZ.
To avoid the heat we went just before sunset and it was after dark by the time we made the rounds. Phoenix Botanical Gardens, AZ.
One of the big hits of the weekend was getting this convertible car. At just 16 bucks a day it was a real bargain. Never mind that it got towed way during dinner and also had a nail in the tire!
