Apache Junction, Arizona

This is the entrance to the park we live in.

Tom and Maureen's cactus is in their backyard, next to our backyard. She hated it until it bloomed. She had no idea that the cactus would bloom. I asked Tom one day if Maureen liked her cactus now. He said that he didn't think so. I then asked if he had seen his cactus. He said no, and when he went back and looked at it he was amazed. So was she, when she saw it. She loves her cactus now.

We waited a little too long to get the picture. It was gorgeous a week earlier.
