Nice shots high above the city, Jim.

Bet the dessert will explode with even more color after that rain.
Already looking greener.
Lovely as always viewing them.

Thanks! :D

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

Have you given up your palms in IA? Who does take care about them?

Thay are all on T-3(on 35F/off 45F) thermocubes,the cactus enclosure has a T-2(on 20F/off 30F) backup.

I will return in time to uncover them..we'll see then how it all worked,in the mean time,I am immersed in cacti and palms etc. 8) :D
