Vacation day 6, Botanical Gardens

Today we went to the botanical gardens here in Phoenix. Mostly we were there to look at cacti but we also saw a roadrunner and a display of ecologically friendly design ideas where young international designers have proposed ideas for creating furniture, clothing, jewelry, and other stuff out of natural and easily renewable products. (ie: salmon leather dress below).

Afterwards, even though it is February and the winds had picked up to about 40 miles per hour and shoots of dust from the storm were rising six stories in the air, we went swimming in the backyard pool.
