I'm not trying to excuse my behaviour. Okay, maybe a little. I know I've neglected the blog. But let me explain: a couple times a year I get a pass and get to take a break from Clay Swamp Acres.
This time our adventure took us to the desert for some southern feathers and foliage. We spent two weeks in sunny Arizona enjoying all the wildflowers, birds, reptiles, sunshine, etc. we could find. And although it was still chilly winter (temperatures in the mid-twenties, Celsius) we saw some fantastic sights. Here are a few highlights from our trip:
We stayed a few days at the Crickethead Inn just outside Tucson. They are right on the edge of Saguaro National Park and offer the best views and breakfast in the area. This was the view we took in before breakfast:

Part of the reason we went to Arizona this time was because there had been a little rain during the winter and we were hoping for a good wildflower year. So we saw some flowers:

| Fairyduster |

| Firecracker Penstemon |
 |
| California Poppy |
 |
| Desert Globemallow - I think? |
We saw a few more flowers, and some other things too! Next time I'll talk about the birds, including our long-time nemesis bird...
"Tro-gon"
I'll tell you about it next time.
