We headed to the desert again behind Congress (this time the school) to search for another set of petroglyphs but the weather was kind of stormy looking so we kept an eye to the sky and didn't find the drawings but we did see some unusual sights, oh and we did see 3 deer along the way -- not much else for wildlife except lizards and birds.
Here's some of the scenery shots I took --
You can see the stormy skies -- we made it home just before the heavy rain & whipping winds
Lots of granite rock cliffs -- Darrel liked this one, if you look closely, right in the center it looks like railroad ties stacked up, but I assure you they were rocks!
More cliffs to see
Lots of greenery, as the desert is still enjoying the rainy/snowy winter
And the blooms are happening everywhere
A clumps of flowers right in front of a the prickly pear cactus
Even the cactus will bloom - we see new ones everyday
We made it home before the rain burst and was glad not to get too soaked on our trip. It was nice have the overcast as it keeps the heat down.
We are doing well, and keep exploring the area --
Happy Trails,
Susan & Darrel
