Cholla
Nasty stuff that nearly jumps onto you.


Roadrunner, a first sighting for me.


Here he is again with crest raised and tail up.


Cardinal (female), another first-ever sighting.

 
Fairy Duster


Superstition Mountain Golf Course
The guys played. I walked.
A treat to the eyes and a pleasure to walk.


Youngest Child, J., enjoyed the golf immensely.


Whitethorn Acacia
The blossoms look like pom-poms on a Dr. Seuss tree.


Theater:  Beau Jest
Dinner at Euro Cafe
Sitting in the sun by the pool.
Wine and cheese on the patio in the evenings.
Golf, golf, golf.
HotStix
Gold Canyon
Mountain lion on the golf course

  1. Yippee doo! It sounds (& looks) like a wonderful time was had by all! I was praying you would.
    You know what caught my eye? The colors you captured. Sure different from white, white, white. So what fun items did you bring home from TJ's to enjoy?

  3. JOdy what a wonderful time and the sunny pics just made me long for some hot sun on my body.
    I sure miss my doses of vitamin D ;)
    Beautiful pics, the cactus are magnificent. The birds are beautiful and look so large and bright. I'm in the "small bird" mode here in England.Great Tits, Blue Tits, Robins (my favourite) are the visitors to my garden. Although with the snow it is easier to spot the field birds, like the two bachelor pheasant strolling through the snow this afternoon and a beautiful buzzard resting on a lamp post this morning.
    So glad you had a good time. xox

  10. Wow, I like all your sights, especially those Dr. Seuss pom-poms. And your doings! But I confess that my first thought was, "What??? No cardinals in Montana?!"

    I'm glad you had a good time!

  11. Beautiful pictures! I used to live in the Phoenix area, and you captured it so that I felt like I was there again. I love where I live now (South Dakota) even with it's snow and freezing cold--but Arizona is a great vacation spot! Glad you had fun!
