Their home in Cave Creek backs up to a wash with plenty of wild life visiting. Dave feeds the birds (and rabbits) so there is always a bevy of activity.
Our first day included a hot air balloon ride that was a retirement gift from Jack's friends.The colors and pattern of this shot makes a great quilt idea.
Day two we went to Out of Africa, a rescue wild animal center in Camp Verde, 2 hours north of Phoenix. Yes Kathi is feeding a giraffe. The park was fully handicapped access including the vehicles. It's so nice when Kathi gets to experience all that is available.
A trip would not be complete without a stop at quilt shops. There's a great one in Cave Creek (but not so wheel chair friendly). I see a circle quilt in the near future.
The highlight of the trip came on the last day. Chihuly, a glass artist, did an art installation within the Botanical Gardens of Phoenix. Hope you enjoy these shots and are inspired to make a quilt from the combination of cactus and glass.

i love that green fabric with the multi-colored dots!!
and those cactus+glass photos are amazing!!
Great photos Janet!
We go to AZ every year! My parents live there for 4 months and we have relatives that live there year round. I love all the pictures. But I have to ask, I love Cave Creek but have never seen a quilt shop there. What is the name of the shop? I may have to stop there sometime.
What great pictures and what a lovely trip. The wonders of nature are incredible and so are the things made by people with a God given talent. The photos of the cactus and beautiful glass are awesome. Thanks for sharing, Janet!
GORGEOUS!!!
wow, that Dale Chihuly glass is amazing.
