OK call us crazy!

Ok call us crazy, but we really like the desert foliage and natural beauty. Even at this time of the year when there are just a few blooms. On the second day we were "homeless" we packed a picnic lunch and took off for the western side of the Saguaro National Park. This is a repeat visit for us, but I will never tire of the peacefulness of a quiet drive or hike through the desert.


Barrel cactus.


Everything that is blooming now, seems to be yellow. Pretty pinks and purples come later in the spring.


After lunch I took a hike on an easy trail while Ron rested in the car. He really wants to come with me but would never make it with his knees.


Getting a little more challenging. Remember, I just
had another birthday :(


Yikes!!


The reward is a great view of these petroglyphs at the top of the trail, created over a thousand years ago by the Hohokam people.
