Phos's Day Out

I finally went to visit the Heard Museum out in Surprise , AZ. It is a small branch of the main museum downtown and features relics and artwork from the local Indian tribes. It was very interesting and I was really impressed by some of the silver work as well as the bead work and basketry. The pottery is gorgeous as well. They had some modern examples at the gift shop, but they were far out of my price range and with 85 pounds of clumsy husky charging around the house, delicate works of art are not a good idea.

I stopped at the "lake" next to the library. It is a nice diversion for the city folk, you can fish, though the fish are strictly put and take, but in these parts there aren't a lot of options. There is even an "Urban Fishing License". I didn't fish, but did snap a few pictures. It was a beautiful day for being out a bit.




It wasn't all fun and games. I had to pick up some husky chow for the kids and some beta chow for Fred the fish. You don't let an animals with half inch fangs get too hungry, and Fred is no slouch when it comes to nabbing food pellets off the surface either. I wouldn't stick anything in that tank I wanted to keep!!

Hope you all are having a fabulous weekend!!!
