What looked like a private home with two "old" saguaro cacti turns out to be a lawyer's office!
brucekitto:
Interesting color on this cactus
brucekitto:
How's that for wicked? Not just one kind of cactus but two to make double sure nothing eats it!
brucekitto:
We visit the old town portion of Tucson - The Presidio
brucekitto:
It was very hot and this sort of open courtyard with no shade was (and must have been) brutal
brucekitto:
A bread oven
brucekitto:
Interesting mural showing daily life in the courtyard
brucekitto:
Now? 1800's?
brucekitto:
More detail on mural
brucekitto:
Grain grinding wheel
brucekitto:
Important to create shade where they can
brucekitto:
Bruce and WIlliam take advantage of the shade
brucekitto:
Somehow the picture doesn't go with the name of the restaurant
brucekitto:
Only here would you have tarantulas and scorpions as stuffed animal pets!
brucekitto:
Interesting artwork in an art gallery near the old town
brucekitto:
Colorful flowers even in this desert setting
brucekitto:
The bridges in New Mexico were always interesting
brucekitto:
Downtown Tucson as we head out
brucekitto:
Postcard photo that may explain what the roadrunner had in its mouth at the petroglyphs earlier in the trip...
brucekitto:
I think the interior of this cactus is safe!
brucekitto:
Sharp!
brucekitto:
This place sold everything
brucekitto:
A woodpecker with its home in the saguaro
brucekitto:
One of the white/yellow flowers (as opposed to red fruit)
brucekitto:
Lots of birds in this area
brucekitto:
Including our first roadrunner!
brucekitto:
Classic sleek look when he starts to move out
brucekitto:
He ran up this tree trunk (as opposed to flying up)
brucekitto:
The roadrunner running on the road. We didn't see the Coyote anywhere!
brucekitto:
Leaves were very fine - I assume to reduce surface area for evaporation
