What a lovely surprise! I got a beautiful infinity scarf as a Random Act of Kindness. On the back of the card it said, “Thank you for sharing your colorful spirit.” Wow! Many thanks to the sweet, anonymous gift giver. Now to pay it forward😊
Out and About
Snow sightings in Madera Canyon. Due to the snowfall last week several trails were still closed to hikers as well as part of the the main road. But we did find snow once again in Arizona.
Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum
The Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum is a 98-acre zoo, aquarium, botanical garden, natural history museum, and art gallery founded in 1952. Located just west of Tucson it features two miles of walking paths that meander through desert landscape. It is one of the most visited attractions in the area. The museum is home to more than 230 animal species and 1,200 varieties of plants. You need to set aside at least three hours to cover the area. Go early as it can be very warm by afternoon. Today it was 77 and that seemed hot when in the middle of the desert with no shade.
There are always new discoveries no matter how many times you visit the Desert Museum.
Take for instance discovering new cacti called rainbow cactus.
and devil cactus.
and one of my more favorite desert scenes which displays a huge variety of cacti.
While my husband was able to capture this magnificent Hawk pose I got up close and personal with this brightly colored snake.
We tried our best to get a javelina photo but they were hidden in the brush.
We enjoyed sharing the sights in the area with our Up North neighbors here for a short visit.

There were some pops of color but it's a little too early for the desert flowering season which promises to be quite spectacular with all the moisture they've had in the region.
One of the outdoor demonstrations was called Free Flights. Several Harris Hawks were released and the crowd couldn't get enough photos of these 4 hawks. .
