Teepee hiding in the bush

Mom's favorite flower: the peone

Canada geese and their lil' goslings

Flowers (actually a combination of lilies and irises) among the cattails and reed grasses along the crick

Reflection upon the water

Lilies on display at a Lily Contest

Native Tiger Lilies plucked and placed in a vase for all mankind to see...

Pretty flower that belongs in an arid-semi-desert climate

An assortment of cacti in the Desert Atrium of the DBG

A large aloe vera spp. plant

Flowers stretching out from a cactus

The African Thorn tree, (forget the real name of it) found in the heart of Africa...look at the size of those thorns!

Flowers of the arid desert climate...
