Antique Sewing Box - Day 101

This antique sewing box was in the Family Home ever since I can remember. I don't know what it's story is or where it came from. Just that it held Mom's sewing supplies and old buttons until we moved it to Arizona last fall.

The Sonoran Desert Comes to Life - Days 93-96

It seems like we wake up one morning to find desert in full color and full of life.

First a neighbor's agave or century plant. Once it's done blooming the entire plant will die.

On this particular evening, when we left for our walk we discovered the desert behind our house was under attack.

The cacti everywhere are flowering. They are spectacular!

The hedgehog cactus bloom is especially bright.

Rain - Day 92

Apparently this is how softball is played at the University of Oregon in April. They weren't even able to finish the top half of the first inning on this particular day.



Even the flowers look like they could use an umbrella.

Sedona's Courthouse Butte Loop - Day 85

This day we took a 4.5+ mile loop around Courthouse Butte and Bell Rock in Sedona. It was a beautiful day to hike a scenic trail.

 

The flowers are starting to bloom. These look like little white buttercups.


This cute little formation is called Rabbit Ears. Do you see them?


Mini daisies.


One of many views of Cathedral Rock.


Thanks to Guest Photographer, Husband for taking the picture of me holding up the Rabbit Ears!
