Winter Wanderings

Gila Box Riparian National Conservation Area protects one of the most significant riparian (streamside) zones in the Southwest. It offers tremendous scientific, cultural, scenic, and recreational values and is one of only two riparian NCAs in the United States.

There are also photos from Boyce Thompson Arboretum, Picacho Peak area, Patagonia Lake, and more. I figure I should keep throwing out some images of cacti and landscapes, since I shoot so many photos of them. And I just love Southern AZ winters, especially when I look at the news and on the internet with all the snow in other places.

ARIZONA ARCHITECTURE

Architecture and more...

Adventures took us to places like Kentucky Camp, Tumacacori, Nogales, and more. Hope you enjoy the shots taken along, and off, the roads of Southern Arizona.

Ghost Towns
We find ourselves seeking out old buildings in settlements, and areas, on our adventures. Arizona has a large number of sites across the state. Many are old mine towns long past their boom. Others are state or national park.
You just never know what you will find if you go off the beaten track, if only a little bit.

Ooops...
