I took another trip to the Botanical Garden yesterday.  I had a friend come over on Friday and talked to me a bit about the manual controls on my camera, which I've never used.  So, I played around yesterday.  Some 300 photos and a dead camera battery yesterday, here are some of my favorites.  I was having trouble uploading them so hopefully none show up in duplicates!
 I love the thorns on this cactus!  This is a favorite shot!
 I've waited and waited to finally get a shot of a quail like this.  So happy!
This last photo is, I think, my very favorite photo of the day.  There is nothing like spring in the desert!
