I try to avoid these areas when the dog and I are hiking.

Not full bloom yet, but very pretty.
The dog doesn't think so 😆 😆

The neighbor's alpacas followed along the fence...they're so funny looking 😀

If you drink, don't drive. Don't even putt.

Those alpacas cute, but maybe not as cute as my snakes. 😆

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

Snakes...not so much. :argue: 😆 😆 😆

Great pics, Barb! You're lucky to have desert plants growing in your area!

Wow! You have native cactus Opuntia fragilis? I guess.

Thanks folks!

Wow! You have native cactus Opuntia fragilis?

Nice to know what it is called, thank you.

Would happily trade my wild cactus desert property for yours where Trachies are naturalizing. 😆 😆
Too hot, dry, windy here for palms.
Unless they're under the leaking eaves 😆
