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. |
