In Order of appearance:

A portion of the rockery that surrounds one end of the home that we didn't even realize was there until I was really looking one day. It still needs some more cleaning but it will be lovely when it is finished.

Three barrel cacti in the garden by the guest bedroom.

Purple Prickly Pear - we have a LOT of prickly pear!

The rockery on the street side of our home here.

What could have been called the outback before is now cleaned up and when the monsoons come there will be a raging stream on the right side of the photo.
