The hot desert summer seems to have arrived. I walked early yesterday morning at the Desert Botanical Garden and that just might be my last walk there for a few months. It was 82 degrees when I arrived at 7:00 AM and 92 degrees when I left a little over an hour later. But, that's nothing compared to the 108 degrees the day reached between 3 and 4 in the afternoon. Those are temperatures we usually don't see until July. Fingers crossed that this hot spell will ease up a bit by next week.
I haven't posted a photo of the Chihuly sculptures at the entrance to the garden in a long time so I snapped one on my way out. These beauties are always a pleasure to see!

I envy you living there, I would be constantly checking out the cacti and succulents.
Wow great photos, and I liked the fashion show in your previous posts.
Sharon nice to see that you are aware of what is going on around you. I am always fascinated with the life forms that live are almost everywhere. It is always worth while to stop and take a look. Even better when you have a camera with you.
Beautiful macros.
I have never been there in the peak of summer, maybe I will keep the fantasy alive and keep it that way
It is going up to 31˚C here today and we have heat warnings at that temp. The city would shut down at your heat levels!
Hot,hot, hot. 24C in my area today.
Wow, great macros. I love the dragonfly photo, it's a beauty.
Great photos Sharon, the first is beautiful.
Oh I hope it's not your last visit until after summer Sharon, I know how much you enjoy these visits. Fingers crossed it was just a freak hot spell. The glass sculptures are fabulous 💜
Yeesh. That is HOT. That shiny black bee is very strange -- nothing like the bees I see here!
