Artist's Description
We have this beautiful shrub in our Yuma backyard!
Caesalpinia gilliesii is a shrub in the legume family. It is commonly known as bird of paradise, but it is not related to the bird of paradise genus Strelitzia. It grows to 1 to 4 m tall, depending on rainfall. The leaves are bipinnate, 10 to15 cm long, bearing 3-10 pairs of pinnae, each with 6-10 pairs of leaflets 5 to 6 mm long and 2 to 4 mm broad.

About Robert Bales
I am a retired teacher, coach, and athletic director. While my wife, Judy, and I were teaching she had a photo studio, and I had a dark room where I did black and white and color. Some were for the studio while most of it was just a hobby. When we retired in 2000, we sold our house in Eastern Washington and moved onto our boat, Last Class, and our motorhome. We sold Last Class a few years ago and bought a small house in Yuma, Arizona and bought another one in Emmett Idaho. Now we spend the summers in Emmett and the winters in Yuma.
