I had a wonderful time during my vacation in Phoenix and one of the highlights of my trip was as a guest of Sharon - Phoenix Daily Photo - to the Desert Botanical Garden. If you visit Sharon's blog you undoubtedly know that the DBG is probably her favorite place in the whole wide world and to see it along with her guidance was a real pleasure. She is definitely an expert on this beautiful spot of nature. Above is a wonderfully old mesquite tree which I might have walked right past had Sharon not pointed it out. We all should hope for such character in our older years.
This tranquil area of water and reeds must be a gathering spot for much of the wildlife that calls the garden home.
This little bunny certainly wasn't intimidated by our clicking shutters. He continued to enjoy a breakfast of prickly pear cactus while we did our photo thing. Amazing how they can avoid all those needlelike spines.
Thanks for a wonderful time, Sharon!

now i know what a mesquite tree looks like. AWESOME. i read about them in my western books and love anything that is mesquite smoked. i am trying to figure out how a bunny can eat with out thorns in its tongue. i would love those gardens.
Wonderful photos! I imagine that your time with Sharon was fun and interesting for both of you. I've always wanted to meet her. . .lucky you two!
So cool that you got to meet Sharon and tag along with her here.
You really got a great shot of my favorite old tree!! I so enjoyed our walk in the garden. I hope you can come back in the spring when all the cactus will be blooming. It's a spectacular sight.
the tree is AWESOME! so is your shot of the adorable nibbling bunny. :) so glad you had a good time! you needed it, dear.
What a neat tree! So glad that you had a good trip..
Yay, you're back! Glad you had a nice visit. The tree looks like something out of a Tim Burton movie. We have some old cedars around here that look similar.
The bunny is so cute. Glad to have you back Kathy.

How fun! My husband and I went there with Sharon a few years ago and had a beautiful day.
That looks like a great place to spend a day. Love your pictures.
Cool gnarly tree!
THe lines of that tree make an interesting photo. I also like how the lines of the cactus mirror the lines of the bunny.
I'm glad you had a great time- I love the tree- fantastic shot.
The old mesquite tree looks so graceful, a beauty. I have been to the DBG twice (many years ago) and it truly is a treat to visit.
That's an interesting looking tree! I love the photo of the rabbit, too. Glad you had a nice time!
It's a beautiful spot and that mesquite tree is awesome! Glad you had a good time.
One of my favorite place to visit in December.
