Wow! Thanks everyone for the kind words.

I have really enjoyed Arizona so far ....there is so much to do and things to see that are far different than where I'm from.

Here's another layout I did from a trip we took this past week to Sedona - another beautiful place with all the red rocks! Lots of good hiking trails here!

Karma, those are both lovely. Both the photos and layout are great. I am glad the cacti bloomed for you!

I used to have a wonderful unheated stairwell with big windows and my cacti bloomed magnificently, but our new modern apartment house now has no such thing and I had to toss them all.:(

Two great montages. The variety of cactus blooms never fails to amaze me - and I've only seen blooms on my small cacti, when I had a lot.

Two lovely montages, the flowers are spectacular, the only one I know is the prickly pear. Saw an awful lot of them during my time in Libya, before Gadaffi.

Your Sedona montage is wonderful, too. Thanks for sharing those...
