A Bright, Sunshiny Day

 

Happy trails from Vegas to Tucson.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

And so here we are...all backed in site #1336 at Lazydays.

Why Lazydays? Well, our pups love the doggie park here, the weather is just beautiful, and tomorrow will be "desert day". I can hardly wait!

 This little mama has a nest of babies in the orange tree behind our patio. She was in and out all afternoon. I so love to hear the babies all excited every time she returns. I tried to get pictures of the nest, but I couldn't without upsetting the mama.

Here she is standing guard on the fence behind our MH. She was most patient with me!

Another visitor today...

 There was a nice breeze blowing...liked the way it ruffled mama's feathers!

 The orange blossoms smell good.








The pups enjoyed a picnic for supper...

Wrecks loves supper...



...Jack had a nap...

and Sally watched the neighbors.

Dover loves the sunshine!

 
 



We had a wonderful Wednesday...hope you did too!

 

 

 

 

Y'all come back!

 

Happy Easter

...the wide-spreading branches...

Spring is in the air!

The Coolabah (eucalyptus) Tree.


The smooth bark...

                              

...and the long narrow leaves. 



 A few days ago, we met Joan and Steve at the Ethel M Chocolate Factory and Botanical Cactus Gardens. There wasn't much to the factory tour, except we did get a free sample! But, the gardens were quite pretty!






Mescal Bean...or Texas Mountain Laurel is an evergreen. It has large purple flowers and rich green leaves.



An interesting aloe plant...

Can you guess the name of this cactus?



 

The Twisted Acacia Tree has small yellow, fragrant flowers along the branches.

The leaves are small and fern like with a straight reddish thorn.



                      







        

It's amazing to me the birds build their nests in the cactus. Isn't nature just amazing?

If you look closely, you can see the making for the nest in the bird's mouth.

An Ocotillo blooming.

A busy day for the birds! Wish I had Judy's skills!

                                                                                
     

We enjoyed the day. The gardens were very well maintained with lots of variety. We headed to Olive Garden for lunch. Here's to new friends and the hope that our paths cross again.

                                                                  
                                                                                   

                                             
                                                         Happy Easter to all.
