Saguaro Cactus flowers and seeds, a delicacy

Tiny seeds are inside of the bright red fruit of the Saguaro ‘apples’. These are a real delicacy for so many birds. They only come out once a year after the blooms disappear. If you can gather enough, they are wonderful to cook. Usually the are very high up on the ends of the arms.

The one below is my favorite. You can see more angels in the negative space between the angels. Part of it was not destroyed in the fire 29May17. To make a donation you may go to their website Degrazia Gallery in the Sun.

De Grazia Chapel burned, deep sadness in Tucson, Arizona

This happened late yesterday afternoon, 29May17. The two front rooms are okay, but the alter and walls inside the chapel are badly burned. The bell and cross still stand on top of the chapel. To make a donation, you may go to their web site, DeGrazia Gallery in the Sun.

A few items were found after the fire.

Custom made boots in Tucson, Arizona with my Boot Bling

Yesterday I brought boot bling over to JG Modern Cowboy, J Gilbert Boot Shop. It is in the Plaza Palomino shops at Swan and Ft Lowell. This one is Bisbee, copper and pearls. If you  live here, or are here on vacation, you have to go by and see these boots. They are fantastic.
