Via The Corner:
A very neat interactive map that lets you see what the spill would look like if its epicenter were your house.
I’ve set this one for Wickenburg, AZ . . .
Visualizing the BP Oil
A Happy Peanut Cactus
I went into the patio today and saw that my peanut cactus had erupted with bright red flowers.
Memorial Day Bouquet and Balloon
This will be the centerpiece on today’s holiday table. God bless those brave souls that paved the way to our freedom with their blood. Have a great holiday, everyone. Click image to enlarge.
Desert Caballeros Corner
Our new town features a very Western motif in the downtown area. The Desert Caballeros Western Museum is at the corner of Wickenburg Way and Tegner which is the intersection of U.S. Hwys 60 and 93, right in the heart of the old downtown area. The bronze sculpture in the center is called “Thanks For The Rain” and features a cowboy reverently kneeling next to his horse. Click on the image to enlarge Damsel’s photo.
By the way, if you’re interested in nerdy 3D images, we put an anaglyph image of the sculpture on the family site. You will need red/cyan or red/blue 3D glasses to view it.
The Bishop’s Cap
I look forward to late spring and early summer in our patio garden when the cactus flowers bloom. This flower is open today on my Bishop’s Cap cactus which is so named because of its shape. Click on the image to enlarge.
Asian Lily
The early spring flowers that I had in the planters on the front porch were pretty much done for the year, so I went to the garden shop and got some Asian lilies for the planters. Yesterday, I went out the front door and I was greeted by this colorful flower. There will be more like this. Click on the image to enlarge.
