That is not AZ, but once a year, I have the privilege to visit this magical place, the American Club in Kohler, WI and they have the most beautiful backyard I know.

Blues on a boat ride on the Chicago River on a lovely Spring night in the Windy City. Magic!

I forgot the name of this cactus that has long thin sticks (Cereus?), but so happy to see its first blooms since I acquired it 3 years ago.

Sabino Creek.
Water is scarce after a very dry winter. Plunging my feet in the cold stream after 3 hours of hiking was a wonderful moment.

Opuntia in full bloom. I moved this plant from a planter in the shade to an open place with afternoon sun. It doubled in size in one year.
Glad to see the local bees appreciate it too!
