Desert Botanical Gardens


We had the chance to go with friends to the Phoenix Desert Botanical Gardens yesterday. We all agreed that the AZ desert is an absolutely beautiful place to be, definately more so than any of us anticipated before we moved out here. In my opinion cactus plants (that is probably incorrect grammar- Nuckles help me out...) have more personality than any other plants I know.

Behind us this cactus is acting like a vine growing up and over the tree.

Here is a challenge: which one of these pictures actually is a snake?
#2
#3
If you guessed #2, you are correct! We actually saw 2 snakes, unfortunately our friend the black and white striped King snake didn't get photographed. He scared the 'uh' out of me. I think he was as fat as a loaf of french bread and easily 5 ft long.
That Rocky boy looks a little peeved at mom for stopping to take a picture in the sun. We started out early to try and beat the strong heat, but it warmed up fast on us!
