Some Pictures of God’s Magnificent Creation



“FINALLY!” we both exclaimed as our new camera was unboxed and marveled at, "we can take pictures again, our blogposts will be more numerous and prettier!"

We took so many pictures in the last two days because of our new camera and we want to show you some of what we did!

Pronounced Choy-ya, these things look like teddy bears, but are something you definitely do not want to touch, as evidenced in the next picture.
As Karisa was trying to take close up pictures of these cuddly plants, one tried to hug her foot!


This is a desert wood rat's nest, basically just old cholla bits and pieces scattered around so larger predators don't try to get them, snakes however aren't deterred by them.

This is what the inside of the trunk of the Cholla looks like when the "bark" has fallen off.

Another picture letting you see God's engineering side come out.

And they're hollow
These things are big too!

They have flowers as well. The natives in older times would take sticks to get the flowers off the plants, then they would steam and eat them.



They were everywhere!

Pinto Mountian off on the horizon


A very cool rock formation, known as the Arch


A 360 view of behind the Arch

The shadows were fun to play with!

Some neat bright green, something we aren't used to anymore!


The next few pictures are of these



Miniature effect on the camera is neat

On the way home we saw this fun creature crawling across the road! That is a water bottle next to it for size comparison. 

So, these are just a few of the pictures from yesterday I hope you enjoy them.
