Sweet Friends!
I have missed you!!
The desert is in bloom and we took photographs to share!
After spending two fantastic weeks in Arizona~
I am in awe of our beautiful America!
Morning grapefruit from the tree in the backyard...
Yum!
Pick a lemon... in the backyard...
Fresh lemonade! Best I have ever had!
Alaina and I love to take road trips...
Jaunts around New York~
Our longest trip was to sunny, warm and bright Florida...
Until now!
Arizona was our home for the past two weeks...
The desert Southwest.
It was hot, hot, hot! 104 degrees the day we left.
Beautiful flowers~
My oh my... with the most brilliant blue sky!
I would see gorgeous blossoms as we drove around the state...
The only thing stopping me from another 1,400 photographs....
Diamondbacks, Rattlers, Scorpions, Spiders and Ants!
That's all!
I'll share our journey in several posts...
This one shares a few of the cactus and citrus!
The landscape is threatened by several dangerous fires.
As our plane headed toward home~
The very hills we drove through were burning...
Heartbreaking.
I met several new feathered friends...
Oodles of pretty & fragrant flowers...
Stayed on paths...
Kept a watchful eye...
Shared another exciting journey with Sweet Alaina!!
Memories and joy to last a lifetime~
Hope your weekend is perfect!
Thank you for visiting my little corner~

Oh Doreen, I wished I would have known you were here. Janice, Alison, and I have a little welcome bandwagon. We have met lots of bear makers in various parts of the state that have come through for visits. Glad you enjoyed the trip.
ReplyDeleteArizona is a very special place. It's a whole other kind of beauty.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you found some new friends to add to your notebook!
