Grand Old State

I went to the Grand Canyon this past weekend, as part of my "Explore Arizona" campaign I've started. Of course, you would think I would have started "exploring" Arizona in the fall, but noooo, I wait until June to start. What am I thinking???

Anyhow, I'll post some of the images once I've had a chance to work through them. For now, I thought I would post some images I took at the Desert Botanical Gardens recently. That is really a great place to go and just take pictures, and also a great place to do sessions. It's so beautiful there, I often wonder why I don't go there more often.

Look at this...can you believe the sky was THIS blue here in Phoenix?

Had to get some native cactus pictures.

These were taken during the Butterfly Exhibit, so pretty.

And finally, look at the colors on these cactus flowers! They're gorgeous! Why have I not ever noticed them before?

Def. check out the DBG when you get a chance. It's a gorgeous place to visit!
