Cactus Garden at Phoenician Resort

Here is a photo looking up at Camelback Mountain from the cactus garden at the Phoenician Resort and Spa. It is a nice place to walk right after having tea at the Phoenician.

You can see the beautiful yellow Palo Verde tree in bloom. I previously showed a photo of the yellow desert carpet made of the blooms of this unique green tree. Click here to see
Palo Verde Desert Carpet.

The Phoenician is truly a great place to stay. There are some good summer specials, but I warn you it is hot here in the summer. The resort does have nine swimming pools though.

Walking has always been a 'part of truth' for me, couldn't and can't believe or trust anything/-one without having spend some steps walking with him/her/it.
After tea would make it a walk, which comes close to 'paradise' for me, as Athens, Greece doesn't provide much space for it (at least her at the outscirts of the city).

Julie, this is a really nice composition. The Palo Verde in the foreground enhances the Cacti in the backdrop. Magnificent.

I remember the previous photo. Very nice. From a distance it reminds me of a Forsythia. Beautiful yellow. Have a great weekend.
