Morning glory growing on the chainlink fence.  These vines came back from last year's seeds.

Are these weeds or great photographic subjects?

 Dandelion

 White prickly poppy

Today I practiced taking pictures with the macro feature on the camera.

Rose

Mesquite Tree

Oleander

Agave
I never noticed the design on the leaves before - quite interesting.

Passionflower
My favorite flower in the Retreat - and so intersting to photograph.

This is some sort of cactus weed.  How can a weed be so pretty?
