Menlo park metal work

I have been taking morning walks in the desert and there is always something to surprise me. I love the metal work that is done here - such a practical material that can withstand the desert summers. Anyhow this photo shows some of the lovely cacti that grow in the years around here too. The neighborhood / very Mexican - has a ton of dogs. Each house had at least two behind big fences. Some are friendly and some are not though I always try to make friends with the grouchy ones.
