Phoenix botanical gardens


You can't fully appreciate the beauty of these pictures without the smell that goes with them. I went with Rebecca on her field trip and it was so beautiful. It has been raining for 24 hours straight and then this morning had that clean, fresh, just rained feel and smell in the air. There is actually a certain tree that puts off that desert smell after it rains. I didn't know that. I am continually in awe of the complexity of this world. Everything is so intricate and unique. So much attention to detail in every plant, animal, and insect. How fun as an adult to still get that feeling of wonder and amazement. Life is good.
