Baja fairy duster

So, yesterday morning our daughter, granddaughter, and I spent 3 hours at the Living Desert Reserve.  I had dropped my car off for a tuneup and she offered to pick me up and take me there, so off we went.  The baby was good the whole time (...knock on wood...).  By 9:30 (we got there at 8:00 a.m.), we let her crawl around the Discovery Room and pull out drawers of bones and feathers.  She needed some "down" time!

Anyway, I was surprised to hear my daughter say she HATED Baja Fairy Dusters.  Eh?  I rather like them.  Or, rather, I like to photograph them.  They do have little thorns on them (if I remember correctly), so maybe that's why she had hers pulled out?  I always enjoy their bursts of color, like these two.  We had a great morning, but by 11:30, I was DRAGGING!  3 1/2 hours was enough!  We headed for a French cafe in Palm Desert for some crepes and croissants!   :-)
