Happy Mother's Day!

Nice sunny day at Mormon Lake, which is on the way (and out of the way) to Flagstaff, AZ

Camelback Mountain

This is a shot of Camelback Mountain that I took from my airplane window as we arrived in Phoenix; the mountain is pretty much in the center of town, and there are a lot of luxury homes on it, overlooking the city. Can you tell why it's called Camelback?

Freeway art

Huge purple lizard climbing on the overpass fence in East Valley! News at 10!

Spring training

Our Saturday mornings (as so many other parents) are spent at the park, watching Tball. This team of 3-5 year olds is trying hard to listen to the coach, but as you can see, there are so many distractions!

It's warming up

There are a lot of spray pads around town for the kids to keep cool - this one is at the Phoenix Zoo, and the water plays with the kids by changing where it is shooting up at random points - fun to watch

Even the saguaro...

blooms for the Spring!

Frozen in time

In downtown Mesa, there are these statues at random spots on the streets - it's easy to pass them and not even realize they aren't real
