This is my last post about my trip to Arizona. My favorite thing about Phoenix was all the sunshine.
Spring is coming slowly to northern Indiana this year. The grass has greened up but it's not growing. The crocus were blooming when I returned home and the daffodils have started blooming. And, sometimes, the sun actually shines! I really needed this trip to get some warmth and sunshine to make it through the end of winter.
One day we visited the Desert Botanical Garden in Tempe. It was interesting to see the changes from when I was there in December. I only have 5 pictures to show you but they're interesting, at least to me they were.
The cactus and other plants were blooming! I don't know their names but I enjoyed the flowers. Look at those sharp thorns!
The Chihuly glass sculptures were still on display. You can see some of them in the pictures.
The garden has a butterfly display in March. We were able to see a variety of butterflies. The main butterfly we saw were the zebra butterflies and they do look zebras!
There were several other varieties also but I didn't get pictures of those, sorry.
Didn't it look sunny and warm in all the above pictures? Here is what it looked like yesterday morning at dawn here in Indiana.
