A Lack of Color


Our first encounter with Phoenix culture! Brian and I visited the Desert Botanical Garden and went on a "Flashlight Tour" last night. Much like the rest of Phoenix, there was a noticeable lack of bright colors, but it was beautiful nonetheless.

Did you know Scorpions glow in ultraviolet light (a black light) because of uric acid found in their outer hyaline layer? Cool. Doesn't make me like them more, but cool.

I posted a few more pictures on Flikr if you are interested:

  1. Oh Brian. What are we going to do with you? That was the most disgusting 'food' I've seen in a long time.
