the wild wild west

Linda and her new friends

December 21, 2009

Tucson, Arizona

This is a pic of my sister Linda who visited us in Tucson before Christmas.  We had a ball!   Linda made some new friends at Old Tuscon Studios.  It is a wonderful old western movie set lot outside of Tuscon.  It was a trip to take the movie tour and see where so many wonderful westerns had been shot.  Flashing back in time to wander the sets with a the great Golden Gate Peak in the background.

Feel like renting a fistful of old westerns…

Saguaro National Park

Tucson, Arizona

Toured the east and west sides of Saguaro National Park this weekend.  I had just never imagined a forest of saguaro cactus.  The Sonora desert is an extreme environment.  Amazing that so much life can be found there. Had a wonderful view of a red tail hawk in flight over the saguaros.

The saguaro has been called monarch of the Sonoran Desert, supreme symbol of the American Southwest, and a plant with personality.  It is renowned for the variety of odd, all-too-human shapes it assumes- shapes that inspire wild and fanciful imaginings.

Tucson’s weather is agreeing with us as it cools off at night but warms up to near 70 every day.
