James' Mom came to Phoenix for a visit

James' Mom came to Phoenix to visit us and we wanted to show her some of the beauty of the desert. I thought you might enjoy looking at God's handiwork also.






Our visit to the Boyce Thompson Arboretum. The tempiture was only 101 on the day were there. But it was beautiful.

Our trip to the Desert Botanical Garden.

And the Chihuly exhibit.

It was 102 on the day we went to the Desert Botanical Garden.

This was the strangest plant it is called

a Madigascar Palm. The trunk looks like
a cactus and the top looks like a palm.

The Chilhuly Exibit.

This was a blown glass exibit that is displayed in the cactus and lit up after dark.

The 'Sun' and the moon coming

up as the sun sets on a hot day.

We spent a day on Canyon Lake. The view was magnificent.

Just relaxing in the neighborhood before she left. We had a wonderful visit. I hope you enjoyed it too.
