Glowing Cacti
The new growth on this Cacti against the sunset looked radioactive.
Redblooms. All was brown just a month ago
We have the perfect spot to capture the sunset against the desert and the mountains. Only a 20 minute hike and we have this beautiful vista; Hills behind us, the desert floor in front and then the Red Mountains. Today wasn’t the best sunset but it is still good to be out in the desert and watching the sun. Today we were not alone. Shortly after we got settled and looked for a good photo frame a family climbed the hill to share the sunset. The kids, a boy and a girl were quite shy and when Duke greeted them with his bark the girl picked up a rock the size of a tennis ball and tossed it at him! Scared him and he ran away with his tail tucked. The good news is after some coaching she was prepared to pet him and as dogs are so forgiving he gave her a lick!
Luke, please don't throw rocks!!!
Thankfully Luke was not as afraid of Duke as his treasures were pretty large! Duke is such a good dog and just patiently waited until both kids were ready to pet him and share their cookies.
We did finally get to see the sunset; not a spectacular one, maybe next week.
and the sun goes down
The sunset makes a beautiful backdrop for the desert plants
aahhhh!
