There are rats in the trees! This poor fellow was about 10-15 ft up in the middle of this tree in the gardens. I'll check up on him later and see if he gathered enough courage to work his way back down.

Poor rat! :(

The apple blossoms are losing their petals and are preparing to become yummy apples!

Bee :)

Aloe buds

With all of the recent rain our cactus are going to have some amazing blooms soon!

Things That Fly

Sometimes things that fly are cute and sometimes they are freaky. I was super excited to finally catch a little humming bird buzzing about some penstemon flowers this afternoon. Boy, she was fast! I was surprised I got her in focus. I also found a cool looking moth with some interesting bumps that I believe to be a Looper moth.
