We saw this great evening scene from the frontyard of our friend's house in the hills west of Tucson.

Oh to be in the Arizona desert in the early dawn when the birds are just beginning to
waken. Although it's usually very cool, it's still a great time of day. |

Early morning can present you with some striking colours here
at Mesa Springs. Of course autumn colours enhance all the scenery
in Eastern Ontario. |

Just because there is not much snow in southern Arizona doesn't mean that Christmas has to be dull. Here at the Tier Drop Trailer Park in Wellton, AZ, the residents are enjoying a cup of warm drink at the home of a resident. |

in the Ketchikan greenhouse.

For very interesting displays of desert vegetation it's a good idea to visit areas where they are displayed. Often times there is a small fee, but it can be very rewarding. |
|
|
Look for pretty flowers everywhere you go. |
