Desert Museum Part 1

Today was a beautiful day for the Desert Museum.

We all piled into the car about 9:15 am and off we went. It was a little chilly when we first arrived and a lot of dirt in the air from yesterdays high winds as may been seen is some pictures. 

I went on my own as I thought it would take me the longest to finish and knew where I wanted to go. While they hit the snake house and I had no desire for that place. 

So many wild flowers everywhere

Sea worms in the Aquatic area

Of course we all know of the sea horse
 I believe the sign said dark fish there were so many kids there today trying to keep ahead of them was impossible so some things did not get named

 Five leg star fish





Mexican Acotillo
 Can't remember the name of this bush but when it rains they give off a wonderful fragrance

 Cactus Wren, AZ. State Bird

 You can see all the pollution from the hard winds yesterday

 Dinosaur bones

My cousins leave tomorrow and I sure did enjoy seeing them after all these years. We had a wonderful time catching up and just enjoying our time.

Good Night All

  1. Love that shot of the wren, really great!! I know you're going to miss your cousins, I rarely get to see any extended family as they are all over the map.

  2. Looks like a very nice place to visit. I used to not like snakes, but living in the North Carolina mountains gave me opportunity to observe some of them up close, and I actually would like to observe them in a museum setting.

  5. Hi Sondra,

    Thank You, Yes I had never even met my cousins husband so we figured it has been 30 yrs since I have seen her and the other cousin and his wife has been ten yrs. Who know if we will ever get together again. We made the best of it.

    Hi Gypsy,

    It is a great place and you can spend hours there if the weather is right. It is a large exhibit. I bet you would like it.

    Hi Karen,

    We did have a great time together they did everything they set out to do while here but one and that was to go to Sabino Canyon, just not enough time.

  7. If we go again, I will spend less time with the snakes and more time with the hummingbirds.

  8. Hi Phyllis,

    The humming birds are so interesting to watch but oh so hard to photograph and they dart from one place to another. They have made so many improvements over the years and it is a constant ongoing creatation.

  9. I think the time spent with your cousins sounds wonderful. Sometimes the winds bring all the pollutants into our area. :-(

    Really windy today, nasty day for allergies.
