Last night I accompanied my Aunt and Uncle to the Butte Botanical Gardens. We were meeting some of there firends there to see the Bruce Munro: Sanoran Light art exhibt displayed through out the gardens. My aunt had sown me photos of the event in a magazine, but actually being there was amazing.
Arriving around 5:45, just before sunset we were able to walk among the gardens before the sunset. These are the photos I took before sunset and the lights came on.
We started the evening with wine and I got a Prickly Pear Margarita, super tasty, and walked around. The Gardens architecture and layout were beautiful. The colors and variety of catus were fun to capture while there was till light.
