There are several Mexican bird of paradise bushes down by one of the pools over here at Desert Ridge, in Scottsdale, AZ. So, yesterday morning (not early...), I went out to take some photos of them. HA~it wasn't long before I headed back to our room! Today, however, I'm heading out earlier! Arizona is having its monsoon season and the humidity is much greater here than in our Southern California desert, although I heard on the news that we're supposed to start getting monsoon humidity this week... :-( Aren't these blossoms beautiful? I have some in my yard and they've propagated themselves, but mine are just yellow. I love the multicolored ones! SOOC Sunday for July 24, 2011.
