    Outing to Desert Botanical Garden

    Saw a blurb on that glass exhibit thingie in the new Arizona Highways magazine...the same issue that rated our local Fiesta Mexicana in Page one of the top 25 restaurants in Arizona - by Nicki Buchannan no less. And a photo spread on The Wave and Coyote Buttes right up the road.

    Great shot of a beautiful tartan.

    The Desert Botanical Garden is a wonderful place.
    I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
    Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…

    Mea culpa! I was stripping 45# weights off the leg press at the gym. One moment the plate's in my hands -- the next instant it's on my foot!

    Spartan,
    What is that Tartan? It is sharp! Who made your kilt?
    Cheers ColMac

    PS - like your kilt hose too

    So, did you add a flash to the cast boot? Hope you heal quickly. Nice photo. Looks like Terry and I will head out there some weekend soon.
    Regards,
