12.29.2007 Desert Botanical Garden

Desert Botanical Garden, Phoenix, Arizona.Since we were in Arizona, we couldn't go home without seeing the cactus! If you love desert plants, this is definitely the place to visit. This garden has those huge giant cactus. Wow.....
This one is like a seaweed cactus...or octopus cactus.
Dad and Mom are so happy, see how high they can jump!
Here's the group shot.
Inspired by the beauty of the desert and the appropriate form of the barrel cactus, artist Patrick Dougherty transformed hundreds of willow branches into a remarkable large-scale sculpture at the garden.
7 days, 2,355 miles, our 2007 Christmas family vacation has come to an end, but these precious memories will last for a lifetime. =)
