My first business trip! I went to Scottsdale, Arizona for a four-day
developer's training course. I had never been to the Southwest before,
and I was struck by its vivid colors and beauty. Nothing beat seeing
cactus plants up close.

The front of my hotel. ~~~~~~~~~~
I fell in love with the Mexican Bird of Paradise.

I don't know what these are, but they were so pretty.

The Sierra Mountains against the endless blue skies.

Yards were generally landscaped with rocks and cacti.

The bushes had color.
~~~~~~~~~~
Even the trees had flowers!

The birds made homes inside the cactus. ~~~~~~~~~~
I went into someone's front yard for these photos!

Next to the sidewalk. I took my daily walks at 4am, when it was much
cooler (I stayed on EST!).
