Just a shot from taken during a road trip, I think right around Saguaro Lake - I like the purple mountain in the background with the green grass;

Which way should we go?
Yesterday, we went to the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum down by Tucson - it was a beautiful day, and it's a really beautiful outdoors museum, with great animal exhibits; I'll post some of my shots over the next week

Moody sky
Here's another shot from our hike through the desert the day after Thanksgiving; I liked the outlines of the saguaros

Crazy cactus
Found this guy when we were tromping around the desert, looking for geocaches I think, or maybe just a stop so the dog could do his thing; there was a cactus wren being pretty noisy with his nest in one of those little holes. but I couldn't find him to get a close up shot.

A boy and his dog and a country road
This was taken a couple of months ago as we were exploring the desert, out by the Superstition Mountains which you see in the background

Camo dog
We were out hiking in the desert near the town of Superior, when our dog climbed up some rocks and stood there like a proud lion; can you see him? He blends in perfectly

One more grave
Here's the last from my pics from the old graveyard we found in the desert; this is an interesting cross to mark the grave, but it didn't tell who it was for; the anonymous cowboy, I guess

Manuelita Guzman grave
Another grave at the abandoned graveyard we found; most of the graves were simple crosses and rocks to mark where the original grave was, but somebody put some time into preserving this one; I don't know the story behind it, but it is for one Manuelita Guzman, born 1844, died in June, 1916

Mattie Earp grave
Out in the desert by Superior, there is an old abandoned (but still tended to, somewhat) graveyard; this is the final resting spot of Mattie Earp (Celia Ann Blaylock), the second wife (commonlaw, they never actually married) of infamous Wyatt Earp, who is best know for his participation in the gunfight at the OK Corral in Tombstone

Rock fence
Here's another part of the corral from yesterday's photo - a rock fence sets the boundaries for most of the corral, must have been a ton of work, but makes a pretty picture

Corral
This old corral is off the beaten path, out near Superior - I'm not sure if it's used anymore or not, but there was a lot of tasty grass so I'm thinking not for awhile

Out in the desert
We were tromping around the desert again today, this time out by Globe, looking for geocaches - took this shot through some cactus with the Superstition Mountains in the distance
