Scottsdale

Towards the end of January Clark had the opportunity to take a class in Scottsdale, AZ. My good friend, Fran, lives in Surprise, AZ, so I was tickled to go with Clark and spend some time with her. She drove over to Scottsdale on Wednesday and we spent the afternoon in the Desert Botanical Garden. I had no idea there were so many different kinds of cacti. At the entrance to the garden is this display. The yellowish green cacti are actually glass sculptures. They were beautiful in the bright sunlight. A Micky Mouse cactus. This guy looks like he is ready for Christmas, with a wreath hanging on his arm. :)Saturday morning we were looking for something to do together since Clark had been in class for 3 days and I had been playing/shopping. If you're a golfer or an art museum enthusiast there is a lot to do in the area. We are neither, so we ended up at the Phoenix Zoo. There are some beautiful animals there, but the tiger is always my favorite.
