Desert Wonders...

Desert flowers have always been my favorite. As I would hike every day when I was young, I collected many, many flowers. I'm sure my mom got so sick of me picking so many flowers for her.

These are some pretty pictures that were taken mostly by Andrew. We have been experimenting with my cool new camera lately. He has been really interested and so I have shown him a few things about settings. Some of these were on our hikes, but most were in the hills above my house. My Dad asked Andrew to go and take some pictures of the cactus on the hill, since he is unable to go up there anymore. Andrew took these gorgeous photos and then we put them on Mom & Dad's computer as a slide show so that he can see them anytime.
