    This is so beautiful! I envy you being in Arizona - I love the west. Hope you are having a great trip.

    P.S. I COMPLETELY missed that you gave us an award below (I have been such a dizz lately!) We have already done that one, but thank you so much for thinking of us.

    Whenever I see cactus like that I think of how hot it gets there, hope that's not the case now.

    Beautiful cactus! Those really must be human size or larger right?

    Thanks for your kind comment on my Skywatch Friday Photo.

    I got to go on a 2 week business trip to Tuscon, AZ once several years ago. It was so very interesting to me.

    Doesn't look like you'll catch much fish there though! LOL
