My Monday

Wednesday is my Monday and the beginning of a hectic week here at Springs Preserve (Ice Cream Festival this Saturday!). It was nice to start my day in the calm beauty of the garden.

 This honey bee was resting and let me take a nice photo before flying away.

 Purple daisy

 I love pink bladder sage

 Apache plume

Red lily

 The apple tree is laden with fruit

Chaste tree

Perfection on a Wednesday

The weather is absolutely gorgeous and the cactus are beginning to bloom. The perfect Wednesday. :)

Fuchsia cactus bloom. Ridiculously pink! 

Crimson hedgehog cactus blooms

Cydno Longwing

 White peacock butterfly

 Unsure of the name of this striking butterfly...

 Daisy :)

Spots of Color

Little spots of color popping up and dotting the usual brown of the Springs Preserve's winter landscape. It feels good.

Warm Winter Wednesday

Perfect weather with a high of 64 degrees. This is what we Las Vegans live for. :)

 Blue Plumbago flowers

 

 Alyssum flowers have a beautiful fragrance

 

 Surprised to see several painted lady butterfliews still active in the gardens

 

 I love seeing the bees roll about in the blanket flowers

 

 Still researching these unusual pink flowers

 

Beautiful golden daisies
