Except for occasional rain, this is a quiet time of year at Tohono Chul Park. Not many visitors, few migrating birds, most snakes keeping to the shade. But there is still beauty everywhere. And sometimes excitement (see this August post from 2011).
One of my favorite fountains in the Park, the Pot Wall, in the Riparian area.
And throughout the Park, barrel cactus are blooming, each plant with a different color.
I've never (as far as I can remember) seen that Pot Fountain. Most whimsical!
ReplyDeleteWe have several unusual fountains at the Park. Maybe I will do a post on my favorite ones.

DeleteI particularly like this one too. And my brother's barrels are in bloom too. I'm just jealous.
ReplyDeleteI should have mentioned in the post that the birds--especially lesser goldfinches--love to bathe in the pots.
