quartz outcropping
Spectacular weather today called for a special hike so we went to an area in the McDowell Sonoran Preserve called the Quartz Outcropping. The views are spectacular making it well worth the difficult climb up.
extreme weather
While parts of the country are experiencing record cold, snow, etc, we also are having unusual weather. It was 79 yesterday and will be 74 today. That’s more than 10 degrees above normal. Here’s a view from my office window. We’re coping 🙂
attention getter
Cloe just recently started crawling up on my lap from under my desk. She’s very good at getting my attention and pointing out that I need to stop and play with her more often 🙂
hedgehog
With our rainfall level so far, this beautiful specimen of Hedgehog Cactus is likely to be filled with blooms this coming April!
stressed
When Cactus are stressed out, such as from extreme cold or heat, they often turn shades of pink, red and orange making them works of art.
