Wildflower hunt

Phillip and I went out looking for wildflowers. We found lots along the roadside and just a few sprinkled beyond that.

We also found the Picket Post trailhead.

We spotted some cactus wrens, some beat up old Saguaros, and the Silly Mountain Botanical Walk. Yes, there’s a Silly Mountain. With its own botanical walk. My state has some of the most ridiculous place names. (Why, Arizona)

Anyway, it was a nice little path with some wildflowers and blooming prickly pear cactus.

It wasn’t what we’d expected, but I’d still call it a success.
