While attending the Chandler Art Walk tonight, I came across Paletas Betty.  OMG these are the best paletas (popsicles)  I have ever tasted!!  Made with fresh fruit, all natural ingredients, and no preservatives.  I will be back for more!

I am slack on posting a photo per day, so I will try to post a number of photos tonight.
One of many plants in Jillian's atrium is the Desert Rose a South African shrub having a swollen succulent stem and bearing showy pink and white flowers after the leaves fall.  Last month when I saw the desert rose it looked like it needed lots of TLC, all the leaves were falling off.  I thought she was neglecting her plants, but no she was not as you can see.

365:95

Hover Dam at Black Canyon, which the Colorado River runs through, on the Arizona and Nevada border.  This shows two of the penstock towers.

The Hunger Games did not disappoint, due mainly to a believable protagonist Katniss!

Patsy & I took the 4 hour Verde Canyon Railroad Wilderness Adventure train ride  from Clarkdale to Perkinsville, AZ.

Taken in Jerome, AZ, an old abandoned mining town (copper, gold, & silver).  In 1903 it was named the most wickedest town in the West!  In the 60's the town became the home of an artist community.  Now it is a tourist destination with many art galleries, shops, and abandoned and refurbished buildings.

At 91 degrees, Patsy and I stayed at the pool all day and BBQ for dinner.
