Spring, Trains, and Butterflies

Just a few views of Spring in the Tucson desert.
Thought I'd better get some photos of the ocotillo while they are in bloom.

A view of the desert from the back of the house.















Looking back at the house from the back property line.















Our saguaro cactus looks like it got hit by lightning quite a long time ago with the top half gone, but this remaining part stands over 6 feet tall. I'm so happy to see it's still alive and growing a new little arm this year.






























This Spring I also get to spend time with some fun kids, doing things like making "the biggest train tracks ever."
















I have to say, new baby looks a lot like Kevin did at this age. (Of course, he had cute blue outfits, instead of pink butterflies.)



















THE END : )
