Biopark

We’ve been working really hard all weekend with the new rentals and the remodel, so we decided to head to the biopark right before they closed on Sunday evening.

This rose garden section is new since we lived here before.

New Mexico has an odd sort of rain where it evaporates the moment it lands (or even before it makes it to the ground). We were getting sprinkles, but not getting wet.

Here is a traditional mud-brick farmhouse. Well, the picket fence probably came from home depot.

Apparently you can grow grapes here.

Why does this cow look funny to me? Like he’s the wrong size or something? Is this even a cow? You’d think I’d know something as basic as whether it’s a cow or not.

Definitely sunflowers.

Probably artichoke.

Possibly cosmos.

Probably echinacea.

I think this is a Rose-of-Sharon.

I have no idea why this pond is all full of algae, I’ve never seen it that way before. Look at the ducks cutting their way through it.

White duck!

I mostly missed the cactus blooms this year. This one bloomed probably about a month or so ago.

I did manage to take one blooming cactus photo a month or two ago, while standing outside a tile store.
