Desert Botanic Gardens

Everything was blooming at the Desert Botanic Gardens in Phoenix, when we were down there at the end of March. Glorious! The yellow tunas on the cactus provided a bright yellow color to the blue and reddish color on the flat pads of another cactus.

Easter Lily

I love the smell of Easter Lilies in the morning after being in a closed in space all night.

fish hook cactus

Serious cactus spines make wonderful patterns and the yellow tunas were so bright. These are from Arizona.

WWII Red Cross Bicycle

Another curious display at the Wings Over the Rockies was the other vehicles there. In the display of WWII planes there was a Red Cross Bicycle. The wheels patterns were interesting.

propeller

The propeller for one of the old planes. It made a neat pattern and the wood texture was very nice.

Tesla coil

When we went to the Wings over the Rockies museum they had a Tesla coil there. My grandson was playing with it creating interesting patterns of electricity shooting through the ball, thus the picture!
