Hi, Bob! Looking good!

Thanks for sharing your encounter. I love Arizona and the southwest. Exploring Phoenix and Tuscon a few years ago, I came upon some really nice botanical gardens and desert parks that gave me a good introduction to the wildlife there. I'm going back in May for a national parks tour that begins in Scottsdale but unfortunately won't leave me enough time to check out this arboretum in nearby Superior. I'll have to remember it for another time.

Thanks so much - there is the Boyce Thompson Arboretum by Superior where this shot was taken, and then there's the Desert Botanical Gardens close to the Phoenix Zoo. I enjoyed both. The Arboretum is a little closer to nature in that the trails are just that, not concrete walk ways - easy walking though. The Botanical Garden is more refined in that most everything is accessible from a sidewalk - very nicely done. Not sure when the display ends, but the Botanical Garden has some wonderful artwork made of water filled bottles with colored fiber optics (hard to explain, worth seeing though).

DARN, Just learned that this exhibit ends May 6 and we will visit end of October!  Oh well... .
