What? More Flowers!
Man plans, and God laughs.
Never was this more true than my resolve to visit the Desert Botanical Garden one last time and not take more pictures.
Odds and Ends
At the end of every trip, I wind up with a few photos from one place and a few from another. None are worth a blog post on their own, but I’d like you to see them.
Canyon del Muerto
A seven hour tour of the valley reveals beauty, and very bad behavior by the “good guys.”
Uncle Ronnie
To many Republicans, Ronald Reagan is a god, the man who brought down the USSR, Mr. Morning in America. Let’s take a moment to remember something he told us.
Cactus Flowers at Last
When not distracted by orchids, I found the time to search out some flowering cacti. It’s still not peak season, so you may see more anon.
Peralta Canyon
The hike up Peralta Canyon is a bit over two miles each way. When you reach the rim, you’ll have climbed about 1300 feet. Most would consider this a moderate hike. But when the temperature is 85f (30c) it becomes a greater challenge.
Orchids
We went to the Desert Botanical Garden because the cacti are blooming, but got waylaid by an orchid exhibit.
