photos from the Phoenix Desert Botanical Gardens



































Yesterday I wrote that we visited the Phoenix Desert Botanical Gardens on Saturday. My husband, Mark Grushka, took the photos. I think he should expand his photojournalist expertise when he retires from the UA. What do you think?

First photo: This photo is of one of many temporary art sculptures in the Garden. The full effect has to be experienced: three gigantic ants cresting on the red soiled butte. It looked like a scene from an alien movie.


Second photo: Fence post cactus, from Mexico. See how straight they grow?

Third photo: Permanent glass sculptures on the entrance hill at the Garden. Rain clouds gather in the distance.
