Blooming

I've never seen bright purple flowers on one of these before. This is at my Mom's house.

Happy Cholla Cactus

Our Cholla cactus in the front yard is full of blooms and is making the bees very happy. Last night's hail didn't seem to damage it.

Crafts

My Mother's been doing a bit of shopping.

Hail damage

Checking the house out for damage and found where the hail punched right thru the lid of a garbage pail.

Hail

Got some serious hail last night. Average size was that of a marble, but a few were the size of a quarter.

Flags

I liked the reflection of the flags here. I'd wish there was more wind to make them wave.

A bit past prime.

These beautiful buds at my Mother's house are just a bit past their prime. Lately I've been getting back to things like this just too late. 

Around the neighborhood

I have no idea what this is, but its pretty spectacular. If its still decent looking by the weekend, I may go back and try it in B&W.
