I took a walk at the Desert Botanical Garden yesterday. My first time there in June. I was only there for an hour because it started getting too warm to be in the sun but, I was happy to see that the fountain feature in the Contemplation Garden was full of water again. It was empty for repairs the whole month of May.
The birds were happy too. I saw quail enjoying the cool water and this white-winged dove also stopped by for a drink.
They were joined by a mourning dove who was thirsty too. I enjoyed sitting there and watching all the activity.
The first bird is spectacular.
ReplyDeleteWow! Fantastic bird photos.
ReplyDeleteBirds seem happy.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty birds.
ReplyDeleteI hope the birds didn't suffer too much for that month when the fountain was closed! They do seem happy now.
ReplyDeleteI always love it when you show us a Quail, Sharon.
ReplyDeleteI understand it has been dangerously hot there, stay cool
ReplyDeleteThe birds are trying to stay cool by the water. Great pics, Sharon.
