A beautiful April day at Tohono Chul Park

It’s getting warm, but everything at the Park is so beautiful. Baby birds, nests, young squirrel families, and flowers everywhere you look: wildflowers, flowering trees, cactus flowers…. you can’t help but smile.

    For such a wicked cactus, the ocotillo sure has magnificent blooms! Thanks for sharing all these. The passionflower is exquisite!
