Desert Bloom begins

Perfect time of year to bike down to Lake Mead. Desert is starting to flower.  Lots of grass this year.  Some places are tall enough to mow.  I have never seen the desert this green.  Hope the rain continues.

Keepers of the Wild

We all met up at Keepers of the Wild outside of Kingman AZ.   It was very windy and cold in the 50s.  They are a sanctuary for many show animals in Vegas.  They also have 7 Tiger King animals. We took the guided tour and I managed to get 2 pictures of animals sticking their tongues out at us.  They have 50 acres and make a home for Bears, Emus, Monkeys, Wolf, Coyotes, Dogs, Birds, Deer who cant take care of themselves in the wild.
