Desert in December!



We went out towards Cave Creek on Saturday for a gentle stroll around the desert. Things always take a lot longer with Paul, as he is always either looking for bugs and animals or taking endless photographs! We managed to time our visit to coincide with a lecture on venomous desert creatures- and got to listen to the Park Ranger describing the tarantula hawk wasp (which Paul had spotted in our garden that very morning). Apparently its sting reaches 999 on a pain scale of 1 to 1000!! Obviously one to avoid annoying....
(Note the T shirts and shorts and glorious December weather!)
