Cactus, Cactus, Cactus.....in bloom!

Every street has its view...
whether it's another house, some trees,
some water...this is our view
(ours is the place with the travel trailer on the right).
Our neighbor's prickly pear cactus.
(Ours is yellow...I think this is so pretty in reds).














This is another unique looking cactus. It's so
pretty in bloom, however, the blooms only
last a week or so.















Almost look like paper flowers.












So pretty to look at but not to touch.
All our little bursts of rain have made
a dramatic affect on all the desert.

The "Desert Storm" Boat parade and Boat ride...

Kirk & Mary's new boat. Kirk and Matt came
to Havasu this week. They invited us out for
a ride today on their boat since we were down
on the channel watching the "Desert Storm" Boats
here for the races tomorrow (Saturday)...the
boats are very expensive high-powered boats
that can go close to 200 mph.
Brother, Steve
Here for Casa Grande Convention
A week ahead for a little visit first.

The channel is busy today with all
the boats in town.

The London Bridge.
Lots of people on top of the
bridge watching all the boats
going underneath!
