We had a little pigeon roost on our patio in Roadhaven.
We noticed this pigeon or dove that came a sitting on a roll in our patio awning outside the front door. When we checked we found a nest there and in a few days two eggs. After a while longer two babies. It was fun to watch her and her mate care for them, but we had to be careful. If we made a loud noise or got two close she would flap her wings noisily and fly away. I named her Midge the Pidge.
One day we went to the Desert Botanical Gardens in Phoenix. We timed our visit to coincide with cactus blooming. You might not think of a desert in the Sonora as having beautiful vegitation but you are wrong. It was gorgeous. These are you common Prickly Pear.
Jumping Cholla and Ocotillo in back.
Old Man Cactus and Agave Cactus.
Mexican Cardon and Organ Pipe Cactus.
Aloe Vera and Straw Succulents.
