Arizona in Instagram

April 12, 2014 by Barb 12 Comments

Homeward bound … this late flight got us home safely and we were in bed by 2:30 am. We’re glad to be home, but are not impressed with the snow banks that greeted us …

When we left Arizona, the temperature was 35C (95F). The Palo Verde trees were blooming their little (big) hearts out!

I love these Fairy Dusters. I caught this using my Olloclip.

The desert is bursting with blooms!

And the greenhouses are packed with fresh new succulents.

The amazing Agave!

Have a happy Saturday!

    So glad you arrived safely! Sorry to hear about the snow mounds, that is a shock after glorious days in the desert, but you did bring some fabulous photos home! Take it easy getting back in the swing … that ‘to do list’ will wait for you, they have a way of doing that.

    What a nice respite though in 95 degree sunny weather! Your instagram photos are just lovely. Love the sunshine gleaming through the palm tree. Glad you arrived home safely!

    Welcome home! We still have snow banks as well but they are in rapid decline so that’s a good thing ~ now if the back yard did not look like a bog we would be all set! Enjoying your waterlogue series on IG ~ beautiful!

    Wonderful photos Barb and LOVE the treatment you’ve given them. Welcome home!! I hope we’ve seen the last of the snow for this year but you KNOW we always have a chance for the “Easter” storm. :(
