Colors

Colors
We listen to CFCW radio from Edmonton, Alberta in the mornings just to keep up with the news from our previous home. This morning they said that it was 15 C. there and 13 C. in the outlying areas. Here it was 26 C. and we were just comfortable. I guess we would not be comfortable there anymore without a jacket, even in the summer.
We may be in a desert climate here; but there is lots of color, both in the plants and animals.
This little cactus is putting on a big show, the hummingbirds really seem to like it.

Yellow Hibiscus.

Red Plumeria. I haven't seen this color at home and would really like a cutting of it. If you have never smelt plumeria, you don't know what you are missing. The perfume is indescribably fragrant.

Bright, blue sea.

Vibrant blue tail on a lizardy beast.

Pretty, yellow moth.
