  3. 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.

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

  11. 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
