Random Garden Scenes

 

My walks at the Desert Botanical Garden give my a lot of opportunities to photograph nature in its various forms.  But it also offers me some more unusual photographic opportunities.  One day when I was there, I spotted this cute dog who had some red and blue "fur" on the top of its head.  Now that is something you don't see every day.

On another day, I was there early in the morning and came along one trail where a volunteer was watering some of the desert plants.  This prickly pear cactus was so wet it looked like it was made of glass.


On another walk, I saw rows of chairs all set up for some evening music concerts. I like the look of those neat rows.  


















In the gift shop, they were getting ready for the holidays.  This year they are offering a series of ornaments with a variety of owl faces.

They are also displaying a "Christmas Saguaro" instead of the traditional tree.  

I see all kinds of things on my garden walks.

You've spotted some interesting things on your walks Sharon.
At first I thought the dog had a bow on his head, but when I enlarged the photo I saw he had his fur coloured :)

Nice thing about dogs is that they don't care. Treats and meals. Treats and meals. Well, any maybe a lot of attention in between. :-)

Why that's the famous Miniature Rainbow Poodle, isn't it?
