Cacti at it's best
This trail goes around a pecan orchard where many informational signs are posted regarding the industry.
We went to the Sonoran Desert Museum today. Saw lots of cacti. They had an informative session and showed a few desert creatures. Very interesting. There were animal exhibits as well most most of themRead more
This was our first hike in Madera Canyon. Kinda reminds us of the mountains around Montana, just not as tall.
We walked another portion of the Juan Bautista Anza trail today. This actually started about 0.5 miles behind our place but we have to drive 4 miles to get there!! This home was mostly between golfRead more
Chris and I walked 2 miles of the trail. A mile in, we came upon a desert garden where you could sit in the shade and relax. Pictures of that are included. We hiked another mile in and came back.Read more
We had company arrive yesterday, Pam and Jim, who are staying in Sun Lakes. We did another part of the De Anza trail yesterday by Tubac, which is south of here. Great day, sunny no wind.
We went to the Botanical Garden in Tucson. Beautiful plants. Of course, lots of cacti and succulents. Temps were in the mid 70⁰ so not bad!!
We did another portion of the Juan Bautista De Anza trail. There wasn't much to see.
We did a shorter walk today. Started at the trailhead and went to the desert garden. A little breezy so birds were quiet.
Awesome the blooms they are a com’n. Makes me homesick to see these pics. I love that place. Jim and I spent quite a bit of time there when we went to Tucson. You get a good feeling being in the desert. Thanks for the memories [Nancy]
Love this blooming cactus [Heather]
Traveler There are a lot that are blooming now.
