Loved the cactus flowers and that Mariposa is stunning, Pam!
Thank you! It was an amazing find – just one little spot where they seemed to thrive.
Spectacular! …. and warm 😊
Thanks! Yes nice and warm!
Happy belated anniversary. Thank you for sharing some of the beauty you experienced.
Thank you! We enjoyed our 40th celebration!
Good for you! Wishing you many more happy years together!
Pam your photos, as always, are excellent. May is obviously the time to visit this area. The desert is such a harsh place that it always amazes me that colorful, delicate blooms like these can survive. ~James
