A brief tour of Scottsdale and environs


We started out from my brother's house and took a wee drive around the local area, just to have a look at things like cacti and mountains and so on...


This palm is actually in a neighbour's garden.




The roads are all planted like this around where Steve lives.


We went out to the start of a trail up into the mountains - not to have a long walk, but just to check out the flora and fauna.



Teddy Bear Cactus


Prickly pear


A bit of cactus skeleton from a dead plant.



Barrel cactus with a blossom coming out.


Dessert rabbit trying to pretend he's actually part of the rock...


Little skink or something like that.


Sideways saguaro  not sure why it's sideways as I turned it before uploading it... will try to turn it again later.


Some partridge crossing the road - there were tons of them crossing the road in cute little families.
