Palo Verde trees in full bloom at DBG, Phoenix!

April 27, 2019 By Administrator

Yesterday my brother, David Crook, and I went to Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix. We both have memberships. It is a magical place. Sounds strange, since most people don’t think of a desert area as magical, but trust me, it’s possible. Shapes, colors, textures, stages of life, cute little critters, chirping birds, shade tree areas . . . there’s so much. And on this day, Palo Verde blossoms blanketed much of the garden. Enjoy!

The Magnificent Luna Moth

What a thrill to find two Luna moths today at the Marshall Butterfly Pavillion in Desert Botanical Garden, Phoenix AZ. Four of us visited the Garden this morning, and as always discovered new and beautiful and amazing forms of life.

The Luna moths were spectacular. Stunning. Breathtaking.

And what a short life span they have. Adults have vestigial mouthparts and do not feed. Therefore, they are short-lived.

You can find some beautiful photos at this site. And lots of scientific information here. Wikipedia has a combination of information and excellent graphics.

Brilliant glass shapes grace the desert

May 2, 2009 By Administrator

I just couldn’t resist taking time from editing, playing with the cats, and killing weeds to edit a few more pictures from my visit to Desert Botanical Garden earlier this week. I’m thrilled that one of my visitors has decided to pay the garden a visit as a result of seeing my photos. The Chihuly exhibit is truly amazing, at many levels.

First picture shows long-time friend Ev Bell, from Bellingham, who was looking up at some marvelous Chihuly work overhead, followed by orange glass balloons and some magnificent glass colors and shapes arranged in a rowboat.

Martha Retallick & I visited Desert Botanical Garden today. This time I focused more on using my telephoto lens. Here are several pictures, including two of Chihuly glass, and one of a ground squirrel.
