there are gardens

 

and there are Gardens

The botanical gardens in Phoenix, are desert but, add the art of Dale Chihuly, from Tacoma and you have a picture of color ! 

Cute polka dots, but they are sharp 

I call this
Bee U Te ful 

little leaves growing right out of the trunk 

Yes, this is desert  
Thankful for blue skies 

 and then

The little hole is from the woodpecker 
I forget with the little growth on the side is about
Holly, will remember, she was great to have along 

The reflection of the cactus is on the water
This is a fountain, of sorts 

this is the only colorful cactus in the park
but, maybe at another time of year there is more color 

This proves we were there, together  

These guys had fun...but John's  wife is much cuter 

She provided extra entertainment by reading some of the signs and pointing out notes of interest
Well done Holly ! 

One more favorite...

Ok.  they were not with us at the gardens
but we had a great time later for lunch

Hi Larry and Louise
