We were in Phoenix a couple weekends ago (and also two weekends before then). The first time, we went to the
Desert Botanical Gardens, since it was free on that particular day. (we figured out it would cost $60 if it wasn't free!) It was pretty neat(though lots of it was what we see every day). One of the sections was called "night blooming garden" or something, so all the flowers were closed up when we got there. But then we came back right before we left(and, before they closed), and the flowers were all opened. It was pretty neat!
Anyways so that was a Friday. The 6th I think. Then Saturday the 7th we went to a softball game where one of our friends was playing. It looked kind of fun. But I've never played so I don't know if I would like it or not...but I think that if I got a chance to learn I would take it. ;)
And on Sunday we went to(actually, met with) a church down there. We met some really nice people there and had supper with them one night. We came back on Tuesday then.
Then we went again the 21-23 ...and so it seems like we have seen lots of Phoenix this month. Of course I don't mind, just saying.
Here's some pictures:

hmm..what's he thinking: "Scared out of my shorts? Check."

| The plant/bush on the left is Rosemary--and boy, did it stink! |

| It looked so cool in real life...it was just getting dark and the sun happened to shine through right there, and these two birds were hopping along on this branch...but one flew away... |

So very interesting, Tara! Love the pictures, of course!
Those photos are beautiful, once again! :) I love all the flower shots...and the cactus. From the way you take the photo, it makes me like cactus! haha
