Picacho Peak state Park 4/3 and Tucson Botanical gardens

We drove to Picacho Peak State park this morning. It traditionally has some of the best wildflower dispkays in the state but were too late gor the poppy carpets. :( It was still beautiful!
We then drove back to Tucson to the botanical gardens. It was stupendous!!
Leho sculptures adorned the gardens, crazy!
Crazy different flowers everywhere. This is just a sampling.
"Shrimp" Plant!!

We then went in the butterfly exhibit!







Ended the day with a mexican combo redo with HF baby Kale and all around yumminess.

Leaving Big Bend heading towards Hot Springs NP

So sad to say goodbye to my desert plant friends! They hold duch a special place in my heart for some reason. I think it's because they are like the underdogs. They flourish beyond our belief! Good bye Big Bend! I hope to see you again!! One of our last Mexican Lunches and we struck gold!! Tiny hole in the wall. So good and fresh . They make their own tortillas. So tender and amazing.  Then through the Texas oil fields. Dust everywhere! And you could actually smell petroleum in the air. Kind of surreal after the beautiful desert. Finished the day with one more Mexican meal! Omg sauted gulf shrimp SO SO SO GOOD!! A perfect end to our desert extravaganza! Tomorrow off to Hot Springs NP
