Have you ever watched a tumbleweed? It
travels whichever way the wind blows. In keeping with that thought, this
page will be a place to share some of my travels, none of which are planned
because they happen spontaneously as the wind blows.
June 2005 Tumbleweed Travels...afoot. All
of these pictures, except for the cholla cactus pictures, were taken during my
morning walk over several days throughout this lovely month of June. I
hope you enjoy them as much as I do! Click the thumbnails below to view larger images in a new window. Close the new window to return to this page.

There's a birdie in this
tree -- can you spot him? |
This bluish purple may be my MOST
favorite color in the world! |
OK, yes, I admit...I get grossed out by
most bugs, but the shimmering luminescent midnight green is simply
amazing. Anybody know what they're called? |
A beautiful desert willow with fuchsia
& pink flowers...WOW! |
I'm not an expert, but I think this is
some variety of fuchsia plant. |
I'll admit my total ignorance
upfront. I have no idea what this is called, but it is GORGEOUS! |
Once again...I don't know the name, but
it is incredible. The fuzzy pink is almost the texture/size of
pipe cleaners. It's so beautiful! |
Another view...this pink fuzzy shrubby
tree grows quite large...over 10' and is absolutely spectacular as it
sways with the breeze. |
Isn't the yellow, green & fuchsia
color contrast incredible?! Talk about breathtaking!!! |
A small cholla cactus flowering low
& close to the ground. |
A tall cholla cactus -- this is a shot
of the very top blossoms against the gorgeous blue New Mexico sky. |
A single full bloom...so pretty...but
don't touch it! |
