Since everyone seems to love the cactus picts, here are some more. This prickly pear will blossom (all the buds on each paddle) into the next picture.
All those little buds will bloom into something like this. Some yellow and some a peachy pink color.
A barrel cactus in the middle of a prickly pear cactus. (This is on the walk to school.) All those will bloom soon too.
If I can, I'll see if I can get a picture of the saguaro cactus flower, usually they only bloom in May and early in the morning, so I'll keep my eye out for a few.
The Kelpie Dog (aka Ella) doing her thing in the desert near my house this morning. She likes to chase the birds, rabbits and lizards.
Not too soon after these pict was taken, three coyotes circled around us (me, the dog and the kiddos). Kind of scary. I threw rocks and yelled real loud and they went their way and we went ours.
For a different view on the desert, look here, she's got some great shots of a very different type of desert.
Hope all had a great day and have a great rest of the week. I'm trying to finish my socks. I have turned the heel and have to do the p/u's for the gusset and then just the foot. Not too much more, hopefully by Sunday I'll have them done.
