<-----Mexican poppies, Desert lupine and Owl's clover. Below is hat mountain, we take this drive bi-weekly doing raptor surveys
These are Ajo lillies-just amazing springing to life in the middle of the desert..outta stones and dirt. They can get to be 4 ft tall!
<-----not sure about the species but thought they were amazing coming out of the rocks 
spring bloom of Mexican poppies
This is Alamo Lake-Shyam checked it out last week in hopes of finding good camping for when Justin arrives..i think he was a bit disappointed. beautiful body of water though! ...and look what he ran into while looking...feral mules or wild ass-whichever you prefer! i mean who gets lucky enough to run into wild ass when you're not even looking for some:) nice one, babe!
We finally made it to a spring training game the last weekend of the season and i may be tempted to drag him out for the remainder 4 games i had such a blast! Thanks for sucking it up honey-its gonna be so much worse when we are sitting on the couch indoors watching baseball:)
Hohokam Stadium-this is the Cubs Spring Training stadium where they hold all of their home games in Mesa, AZ.
Hooray for baseball and Sunshine!
Not a bad view at all....
And here is Shyam representing my city!!Decide for yourself; nature w/ wildflowers, cacti, and mountains or baseball, butts and beer? Sunshine included in both:)...i think i need a round 2 of both to decide:)...keep ya posted:)
To make comments you just click where it says "0 Comments" or whatever the number is. When is the last time the Cubs won a world series? Hasn't it been over a century or something like that? Did you know the Lakers with Kobe won the championship just last year?
ReplyDeleteThe pictures of the flowers are awesome! I love em!
ReplyDeleteHmmm....
ReplyDeleteInteresting conversation,
But none-the-less.
Enjoy the desert bloom as I imagine it does not last that long. And Mexican poppies, can you make heroin out of that? Just kiddin. 4 feet tall poppies? I think I need a size comparison, so next time I would like Amanda to stand in the poppy field for scale. :)
By the way, I prefer to call them "wicked wild asses" over feral mules.
All right, go cubs! I love that you guys made it out to a game, and jealous too. Wish I could've joined yeah, hoped you enjoyed the beer gardens. And Amanda, stop staring at the ball players asses.
I love the pics, glad Shayma is wearing a shirt in the last one because I know he lost his shirt somewhere along the line. Take care guys and I promise to post soon.
