Arizona - Desert Botanical Garden

Tonight I'm not writing too much (need to get to bed), but want to share some photos taken at the Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix. It's well worth the $18 admission fee to visit this place. We spent about 3/4 hour with a volunteer docent who provided a tour and taught us a lot about the remarkable adaptations the various cacti have made to survive in their desert environment. Enjoy.

Looks so soft and fuzzy - but looks are deceiving!

Very accustomed to humans (and our food), a woman kept shooing this quail away.
