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.

Wow, yes.
They look so beautiful with multiple trunks.
Surprised to see lawns there.

I was surprised as well. 😯
Lawns are becoming more and more popular, I hope they don't over do it use all their water on grass. 😐

I suppose to anyone with a gravel lawn, grass looks good.
And vice versa.
But what a waste of water a grass lawn is.
I really really liked that street...looks very interesting all the way along.

No doubt turf grass has it's place, but in the desert I think it looks best with small portions. Here is a nice grass mix compared to the all turf at the neighbors. 😀

I also like the feeling of that area, checkout the places by the golf course. 😀

Here's what I don't like about turf in the desert, hard too keep uniform. They would have made a real statement if the kept the lawn in the low areas and landscaped the borders and high places. 😕

Aaron, re your 2:33 pm posting, I was going to send YOU that one from down the street.
Kinda a shock seeing those "poles", ha ha.
Hope they all come back for that guy, some look stone dead.
Re the last one, 😆 😆 😆 yup golf is more popular...I'm always under the trees in the shade looking for my ball. 😆 😆
The last thing I'd do is play tennis in AZ in 109F on a paved court. Jeez!
Is that trees growing through the pavement/clay? 😆

I've been looking in El paso Tx with a 2013 street view and even the palms that looked stone dead in 2011 seem to be doing good. Well most. 😆
What gets me with the 2011 street view in New Mexico, is that even the native barrel cactus(native too that area) are burned very badly or dead.
Must have been much colder than it was in SE AZ, because I did not see any or very little burn on the native barrels there.
That sure was a lot of money spent on tennis courts that no one seems to be using, and yes sure looks like trees growing through the courts. 😆

I knew someone who went to Mexico for a month in...either 2010 or 2011... and she said it was horribly cold the entire month she was there.
So that's maybe what happened.
Maybe barrels show less damage because they're...well...thicker, bigger?

Yip, that was the winter. 😯
I would've never guessed this street was in El Paso TX. Lots of water use here!

Holy cow, El Paso's vegetation looks like it could be closer to Oregon's. 😯

Douglas AZ, golden barrels that survived. I bet they were covered.
