    Outing to Desert Botanical Garden

    Today we visited the Phoenix Desert Botanical Garden and the Chihuly Exhibit: The Nature of Glass. Here's a kilt pic. If you would like to see pics of the Chihuly Exhibit, go here>>>http://spartan64.smugmug.com/gallery...07908292_JKBW5

    Saw a blurb on that glass exhibit thingie in the new Arizona Highways magazine...the same issue that rated our local Fiesta Mexicana in Page one of the top 25 restaurants in Arizona - by Nicki Buchannan no less. And a photo spread on The Wave and Coyote Buttes right up the road.

    Great shot of a beautiful tartan.

    The Desert Botanical Garden is a wonderful place.
    I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
    Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…

    Mea culpa! I was stripping 45# weights off the leg press at the gym. One moment the plate's in my hands -- the next instant it's on my foot!

    Lookin' good. Love the hose. I liked visiting the Desert Botanical Garden when my daughter lived in Avondale. We visited in the Spring, of course!!

    Spartan,
    What is that Tartan? It is sharp! Who made your kilt?
    Cheers ColMac

    PS - like your kilt hose too

    So, did you add a flash to the cast boot? Hope you heal quickly. Nice photo. Looks like Terry and I will head out there some weekend soon.
    Regards,
