This past weekend, my hubby took me on a surprise trip to the Desert Botanical Gardens in Phoenix, Arizona. Since I have a nice collection of photos, I am going to break them up into a series of posts. For Part One of this series, the focus is cacti – oddly shaped cacti and colorful cacti blossoms.

Fountain Park in Fountain Hills, AZ is the home of what was once the tallest fountain in the world, according to Guinness Book of Records. Not only is it one of my favorite places to visit when I am in need of a relaxing visit with nature, but it also holds very special memories, as this is the place where my fiancé and I had our first date and got engaged.
