The Spring Bee

Here is an insect we all want to see to make sure we have a colorful Spring with as many blossoming flowers as possible. 

As you can see, he was posing for this photo and then he smiled for the camera.  

Taking photos of bees is never easy and you do not want to get stung!

The Kiva and Harpist at El Pedegral

The harpist is making melodies on a nice sunny day on the Courtyard Stage at El Pedegral. The design of the Courtyard Stage looks like a kiva. 

Note the painted wood poles that are holding up the yellow sunshades.  The kiva-style structure does provide shade and is definitely an interesting and colorful style.  We are always designing shade into our lives when we live in the desert.

It is nice to have the ancient boulders in the background as you enjoy the ambiance of the afternoon. The water cascades down towards the stage. The flowers are fresh and add a splash of color. 

  
El Pedegral is like a park, but it is an artsy outdoor shopping center.

El Pedegral is located at the southeast corner of Scottsdale Road and the Carefree Highway in Scottsdale and it is situated among the beautiful Sonoran Desert.
