Today is the official first day of Spring! Last week was Spring Break for us, and it was nice to spend time with the kids outside and just enjoy an unstructured week. One of the days we went to the Desert Botanical Gardens in Phoenix and I wanted to share a few photos.
They have a butterfly exhibit going on right now that is just beautiful. You enter a large tented area and there are butterflies everywhere! It was an amateur photographers dream.

 
Usually I don’t find a lot of beauty in desert plants but I was feeling particularly inspired that day I guess.

It’s not often you find fruit on the cactus, so it was fun to get a picture. 

What does Spring look like in your next of the woods? Is it anything like this?
