Desert Botanical Garden

On Easter weekend my mom and I visited the Desert Botanical Garden. This was my first visit and it was really nice. The flowers were just about at their peak and lots of birds and critters were out. It was a warm day, about 90, but some thin clouds came in and made it really nice. Thought I would share some of the pictures.
