(Above photo, ooh sparkly rock with fern.)
This week I actually went out on an expedition to take pictures. And to keep small child busy since he was out of school for six days with the Arizona teacher walkout. Yikes! It is always lovely to go up to 8000′ and feel the crisp air and smell the pine. Added bonus was getting away from the pollen which my sinuses really appreciated.
We didn’t walk far but it was a scenic, if rocky, stroll.
One of the reasons we didn’t stay very long was there was a lot of tree cutting going on by the Forest Service. We kinda felt like we shouldn’t be in the area though there were no signs or anything forbidding it.
Bridge photos are always good.
Looking up is good too. It was such a beautiful day.
There is a stream here (this is the view off the bridge), not much water which is bad, there should still be some snow melt flowing this time of year. This is more how it looks in early July before the monsoons start. Hope we get some rain this year.
Last August I visited Tucson and friends took me to the top of Mt Lemmon. Loved it! Just like your photos. Those huge rocks and the pine trees, the smell of their needles…much, much cooler up there. And so many birds to watch. The perfect spot for one of your no-school days. Thanks for the revisit!
