Roadrunner

Favorite thing: Driving along Arizona highways I occasionally saw these birds running across the desert. It's impossible to photograph them in open wild because they are so hyper so fast. In Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum I got the opportunity to see them in captivity. Even in the cage they are still hyper and hardly stay still.

prairie dog

Favorite thing: Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum has a cool display of prairie dogs where you get to see how they dig their underground channels. You come face to face with a bunch of cute prairie dogs and look into their living rooms. Poor little guys got no privacy in the museum.

URSULA  AND  CACTI  HEDGEROW :-)

Favorite thing: Sometimes cacti grow very close together, just ony by one. They can form a strange, sharp wall as you can see on my picture taken in Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum. Could it be a kind of your hedgerow? Btw it's Organpipe cactus.

NATIVE  AMERICAN  DRAWING  IN  ASDM

Favorite thing: You can see a lot of various drawings in Arizona-Sonora Desert museum. As I know they were draw by native Americans. Don't you like it? I like them, especially that one on my picture.

LOCAL  ART  IN  ASDM

Favorite thing: Look at my picture, please. It's just another example of pottery exhibited in Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum (ASDM). Don't you like it? As I know it's an example of local native American art. Am I wrong?

POTTERY

Favorite thing: You can see exhibitions of local artists inside Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum. Do you like pottery? Look at my picture, please. I liked some vases (is it correct name?) a lot! Was it native American art or what?

COLORADO  RIVER  FISHES  DISPLAY

Favorite thing: You can get a lot of information on fish of Colorado River inside Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum.
There are fishes which are endemic to the Colorado River drainage, meaning they are native to this area and nowhere else. All are endangered.

DIRECTION  SIGN  IN  ASDM

Favorite thing: You can find direction signs on trails in Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum (ASDM). As you can see on my picture there is a gift shop and coffee bar in the museum. Add restrooms, parking lot and information point.

URSULA  AND  ARIZONA  AGAVE

Favorite thing: You can find Arizona Agave in Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum.

I saw a lot of various species of agaves in southern Europe and northern Africa and I must admit that Arizona Agave looked really impressive.

PALO  VERDE  TREE

Favorite thing: Watch for Palo Verde trees before you enter Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum. There are a few trees with characteristic green trunks and branches. Look at my picture. Hmm... do you know any other tree like that?
