After target practice today, we pulled over to the Everett Bowman Rodeo Grounds where a practice session was underway for an upcoming rodeo event. There are a couple of cowboys in the photo that are doing some calf roping practice. Click on the image to enlarge.
We were fortunate to purchase a piece of the Sonoran Desert when we bought our lot in Wickenburg, AZ. I took this photo of one of several cholla growing on the property. I like the way it looks against the blue Arizona sky. Click on the image to enlarge.
The red amaryllis I posted a few days ago now has all four trumpets open. There is actually a fifth flower developing, but I don’t know if it’s going to amount to much. Bob held the amaryllis against the blue Arizona sky for this photo. Just beautiful, if I do say so myself. Click on the image to enlarge.
Have a good weekend, everybody. And, please enjoy this beautiful Arizona sunset that I photographed this evening from our courtyard.
The first of four flowers on this amaryllis stalk opened last night and this morning. The nice red color has white highlights down the center of each petal. Click on the image to enlarge.
I bought a bouquet of Asian lilies and other flowers this week at the flower concession in Safeway. I also bought a potted plant with these pretty pink tulips. Click on the image to enlarge.

This nice saguaro lives about a mile and a half from our house in the shopping center down by Vulture Mine Road. We went grocery shopping today and I snapped this photo as we were heading out of the parking lot. We love this little town.

We made our monthly trip to the Phoenix metro area today to shop in Surprise, Peoria and Glendale, AZ. We had to get some supplies for the yard and garden at Lowe’s and to shop for some hard-to-find-in-Wickenburg food and kitchen items at Smart and Final. I snapped this photo of The Sonoran Desert with craggy mountains in the background as we drove through Morristown on our way home. You can see the BNSF rails that parallel US 60 between Phoenix and Morristown in the foreground. Click on the image to enlarge.

Maybe it’s not exactly a castle, but our little house in Casandro Wash seems just like that to us. Besides, Arizona is a Castle Doctrine State. Click on the image to enlarge.

We paused along the road a quarter mile north of our new house to take this photo of the Bradshaw Mountains that lie between Wickenburg and Prescott. It was a nice, clear and sunny day today with blue skies and a high temperature of 65 °. Click on the image to enlarge.
