May 28, 2006 At the bottom of this page, you'll see a few cactus flowers on the local native vegetation. The larger cacti are blooming now; this week you'll see one of the more ostentatious blossoms, on the plant in my backyard that produces the red fruit shown on the December page. This flower only opens at night, but I was up early one day, and saw that the flowers were only just starting to close.  This is what I saw when I looked out the window  Here is a close up of another one of the flowers May 21, 2006 A couple of coyote photos this week.  A very restful pose!  Watching the visitors May 14, 2006 This week we'll play find the hidden animal. Below you will see three pictures, each containing an animal at the Desert Museum. After each image, you'll see the edited version of the picture, with the colors adjusted to make the animal more apparent. Enjoy!  The cat in the cave is...  ... a mountain lion  The animal rolling its eyes is...
 ... a black bear  And under the bush you'll find...  ...a resting deer May 7, 2006 The desert in bloom. This year Arizona is in a draught, but the cacti are blooming anyway.  A Cactus Blossom  Most Flowers are not this Deep Red Color  A Prickly Pear Flower |
