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."

Fish Creek Canyon Arizona

I am in Arizona this week, not exactly a vacation, but hoping to have a couple days to explore the Grand Canyon.
