Must have been a large moth to make a cocoon this size. http://fourcorners.my-expressions.com/archives/2663_1897200221/324766 Desertview 2009-03-15T22:19:37Z 2009-03-15T22:19:37Z <a href="http://fourcorners.my-expressions.com/archives/2663_1897200221/324766" style="border:0;"><img src="http://my-expressions.com/up_media/2612/pblog/2643/et_1237180781.jpg"/></a><br> I love the soft tones of pampas grass at sunset and have taken several similar shots to this. http://fourcorners.my-expressions.com/archives/2663_1897200221/322602 Desertview 2009-02-15T17:20:50Z 2009-02-15T17:20:50Z <a href="http://fourcorners.my-expressions.com/archives/2663_1897200221/322602" style="border:0;"><img src="http://my-expressions.com/up_media/2612/pblog/2643/et_1234743653.jpg"/></a><br> Taken on the preserve near our house. http://fourcorners.my-expressions.com/archives/2663_1897200221/321524 Desertview 2009-02-01T20:13:14Z 2009-02-01T20:13:14Z <a href="http://fourcorners.my-expressions.com/archives/2663_1897200221/321524" style="border:0;"><img src="http://my-expressions.com/up_media/2612/pblog/2643/et_1233544449.jpg"/></a><br> I guess spring comes early in AZ. http://fourcorners.my-expressions.com/archives/2663_1897200221/319629 Desertview 2009-01-11T19:37:10Z 2009-01-11T19:37:10Z <a href="http://fourcorners.my-expressions.com/archives/2663_1897200221/319629" style="border:0;"><img src="http://my-expressions.com/up_media/2612/pblog/2643/et_1231727831.jpg"/></a><br> It's not a rose of course but doesn't it look just like a rosebud?! http://fourcorners.my-expressions.com/archives/2663_1897200221/295192 Desertview 2008-06-01T22:14:24Z 2008-06-01T22:14:24Z <a href="http://fourcorners.my-expressions.com/archives/2663_1897200221/295192" style="border:0;"><img src="http://my-expressions.com/up_media/2612/pblog/2643/et_1212383669.jpg"/></a><br> Last weekend we had the first rain in 3 months or so so everything seemed a little fresher on a stroll I took afterwards. This is a mesquite tree seed pod dislodged in the high winds. I liked the arabesque of its curves on the damp sidewalk. http://fourcorners.my-expressions.com/archives/2663_1897200221/293038 Desertview 2008-05-17T20:17:29Z 2008-05-17T20:17:29Z <a href="http://fourcorners.my-expressions.com/archives/2663_1897200221/293038" style="border:0;"><img src="http://my-expressions.com/up_media/2612/pblog/2643/et_1211080672.jpg"/></a><br> These bushes are very common in people's yard landscaping here in Phoenix. They are usually cut in cylinders or semi-spheres 3 to 5 feet across http://fourcorners.my-expressions.com/archives/2663_1897200221/292296 Desertview 2008-05-12T20:24:06Z 2008-05-12T20:24:06Z <a href="http://fourcorners.my-expressions.com/archives/2663_1897200221/292296" style="border:0;"><img src="http://my-expressions.com/up_media/2612/pblog/2643/et_1210649068.jpg"/></a><br> I took this today on a walk around the neighbourhood. In the foreground are pampas grass heads behind which are the dried flowerets of brittle bush.
