More chuparosa park


These little nubby plants are actually kind of pretty when they are allowed to grow a little; I showed them here in this pic awhile back; I think they're called deer grass, but I've been known to be wrong once before...

Orange season


Now through March, the oranges and citrus are ripe and ready to be picked around here - we did a charity picking today, since most homeowners grow way more than they need, and donate to a local food bank; the kids loved it

Theme Day - Best Photo of 2008


The first day of the month is theme day at Daily Photo, and for January we are choosing our best photo posted in 2008 - this is my selection, which I posted just a few short weeks ago - the Superstition Mountains are even more impressive than usual with the moody clouds hovering over them, and I like the old lantern and the cowboy saddling up - very Arizona looking

There are around 150 Daily Photo sites participating in this month's theme - check them out by clicking here!

Happy New Year!!
