I think it's faked. You could give something an absolute heart attack surprising them like that.

Dar good news, Portillos just opened a restaurant in Scottsdale. 10574 N. 90th.street (90 th & Shea Blvd.) They have italian beef sandwiches to die for, really good hot dogs, hamburgers, sausages etc. and for the milkshake people try a Chocolate Cake shake- You can goggle them and see their full menu/prices.

I wish they had one close enough for me to walk to. I don't drive and I would really pig out, if there weren't any witnesses.

Trying to make me fatter?

I'm headed up the mountain this morning. It's my day off and I needed it!

Then off to home depot for items to make my backyard look even better. Can't let DW see the bill.

Pics from my morning hike.... violet and yellow flowers...

Valley just to the east of Squaw Peak.

Squaw Peak

Downtown Phoenix in the distance... if you look carefully you can see Chase Field.

Brittle bush.... pretty yellow flowers.

Camelback Mountain in the distance...

Squaw Peak from the top of a hill to the east...

A barrel cactus.

Saguaros

Saguaros up close Why does it turn my pics?

Sorry it turns my pics... "On the trail"

Orange flowers

Cholla or "Jumping Catus"

Palo verde tree to the left, Ocotillo to the right. The Ocotillo will be blooming soon with bright red flowers. Both of these trees are known as nurses for baby Saguaros.... They can't grow as young plants unless they are in the shade initially.

Blooming creosote

Blooming violet flowers... these only last for perhaps a week and then they are gone till next year, IF it rains in February.

A very young (40 or 50 year old) saguaro, growing in the shade of a Palo verde tree.

Squaw Peak from another vantage point.

Another interesting little Cacti... don't know it's official name. Looks happy to be there.

Home of some cactus wrens....

There's a nest in there....

And there is mama... daddy had just delivered some goods and flew away.

Mama Cactus Wren, waiting for her mate to return with goodies for the chicks in the nest.


Wish I could take cool photos like Mary... but this is just from my Cannon point and shoot.
