April May June

Trips to Phoenix and Las Vegas and a Flamenco festival in Albuquerque.
Our faithful Saturn Vue had to be hauled off for repairs.
We really like this picture of Claire, who turned 4 in April.
Finally, in early May, we had a little bit of rain.
At the Botanical Gardens in Phoenix. You will see what these are when the sun sets.
These cactus buds almost look like they are waiting for prey.
I had never seen buds like this before.
Desert or ocean floor?
A spider's web? [more foreshadowing]
No--a large part of the site has optical fiber leading to small LEDs.The lights change color as do the optical fibers.
Cactus silhouettes.
The hill is lit by clusters of lights and fiber optic cable.
Now you can see that the structures that seemed to be glass barrels are really part of the light show. [Ask me abot the snake sometime.]
We all went to a walk for Williams Syndrome. Kate, Abby, and Claire came down from Las Vegas.
Only someone who knows Noah would know why this is an ironic choice.
Patricia taking a flamenco lesson on Museum Hill.
Lou Diamond Phillips doing a reading of a Craig Johnson work called the Signal Man in Santa Fe.
Craig Johnson signed lots of books. He seems like a nice guy.
For some reason, the news copter hovered almost directly over our house. I guess I'll have to be more careful about expressing my opinions.
Claire getting physical therapy with Miss Tanya.
Claire loves to jump on these trampolines.
