You can’t hike in Arizona without becoming aware of the study of archaeology. I’ve been doing it for over 40 years. Thousands of indigenous people have lived their lives here for thousands of years. Here are just a few photos of their handiwork left behind.
I observed these wildflowers among the summer grasses in Buffalo Park yesterday. The Bull Thistles and Prickly Pear cactus are about to blossom, more brilliant color! There are more than the usual number this year due to the recent rain in May. bit.ly/2YppAkC
Asclepias asperula is a species of milkweed native to the Southwestern United States and northern Mexico. Its common names include antelope horns, green-flowered milkweed, and spider antelope horns. Is a good food source for Monarch butterfly caterpillars.
Sometimes Nature provides the perfect composition, lighting, texture and components. Here on this large basalt boulder representative parts of the Ponderosa Pine tree are laid out for anyone to see.Find the images you need from anywhere! bit.ly/2YppAkC
