Desert Scenes: Fish Creek Canyon

exploring Fish Creek Canyon near Phoenix, Arizona...
sky growls overhead
rocky road winds on and on
adventure awaits
Fish Creek

red rock so dotted
with spiny sage green prickles
kiss speckled blue sky
jaunty white petals
with cheery yellow centers
swaying breezily






I'm so happy Ms Jenny has decided to do another round of Alphabe-Thursday! This is such a fun meme!  Thank you, Ms Jenny!  Come and join in the fun!  You will be charmed and even enlightened in a delightful way!  See more entries HERE. This week our letter is "D."

  11. Lovely descriptions to go with lovely photos...I really like visiting Arizona and would love to return (take a break from Wisconsin winters in February or March!) - maybe someday. Your scenery is such a dramatic change from we are used to up here. Thank you for sharing.

  15. I don't think I know this canyon, but it looks like high clearance access so I doubt I'll get there!

    I love your spare and delicious descriptions of the area. This was an absolutely delightful link.

    Arizona is such a land of extremes...the water and the cactus, the decorative frill of the flowers against the hardscape rock striations.

    Just absolutely lovely.

    Thank you for sharing this.
