This cactus garden is on our property! |
This building is in Tucson. Great looking architecturally, but why build it out of iron? |
This sign is in front of the rusty building. |
Relaxing after work. J |
I saw this fellow out back one evening! |
Halloween, 2005. |
|
In November, 2005 I took my BMW to the local drag strip. |
That's me getting the green light. |
It's difficult to read the numbers on the sign ~ it says that I ran the quarter mile at 98.95 MPH in 14.572 seconds, not too bad for a beginner! J |
Bonnie's 2006 family reunion. Left to right standing are Jim Ikola, Roger Maxfield, Joanne Haukland, Bonnie Mullin, and Bill Mullin. Seated are Pixie Ikola, Dale Haukland, and Carol Rice. |
Notice the great reunion embroidery which was done by my sister Pat Gray. J |
|
Bob & Bonnie. |
This is the entire reunion group. I like the way the mountain at the right is lighted! |
|

Standing left to right are Carol Rice, her son Scott, and her daughter-in-law Tawny. Seated is her grandson Austin. |
This picture was taken at the Titan Museum. |
This tall cactus was demolished by a rare desert snow storm in January, 2007! |
Killer bees swarming in a tree on our property. Note that these insects are NOT a problem ~ their bad reputation was created by the media! L |
Coyotes are very shy ~ this picture took a lot of patience and a 12X telephoto lens! J |
Christmas, 2006. |
I "planted" this wagon wheel ~ thought it looked more like the desert than a fountain which had been here earlier. |
Hybrid cactus. |
This is an octopus agave which is blooming. It looks great, but unfortunately the new flower stalk will kill the mother plant! L |
The octopus agave in bloom. |
Close-up of the octopus agave flowsers, including more killer bees. |
This is a blue agave blooming. Would you believe that this flower stalk . . . |
. . . became this!! Unfortunately, this mother plant is also going to die. |
Bonnie enjoying the sun. |
