On Saturday we spent a good part of the day at the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum. It was a beautiful sunny day, in the upper 60s. Dan had left his camera at home, so he used mine to take some great photos. All along I've been blaming my mediocre photos on my inexpensive camera. I now know it isn't the camera.
This is a wildflower that we have growing in our side garden. I think it's called a desert bluebell.
There weren't any cactus in bloom yet, but they were still pretty.
In the hummingbird aviary there were several nests with one or two babies. We watched one mom feeding her two youngsters, who really filled the tiny nest.
When we returned to the house, we hosted our friends Robert and Mike and Brian and Elaine for wine and munchies. It was a fun evening.
This morning we picked up Dan and Liz at their bed and breakfast and did a brief tour of downtown Tucson. On the way back, we stopped at the pedestrian and bike bridge that was made in the shape of a rattlesnake. It even has a motion sensor that emits threatening rattling noises as you pass under.
Before they left, we looked at some photos from their recent trip to Antarctica. They had a great time and we're looking forward to seeing all of Dan's photos posted on his photo site.
