Spring Break? Why Not?

Springtime in Arizona is magical. It really is. With all the rain, the desert looks like a golf course. The orange blossoms are blooming. The creeks and washes are flowing with clear water and waterfalls. These pictures are from two great hikes I went on last week. The first is Minnow Canyon formed by Fish Creek between Apache and Canyon Lakes. The next is Ladders Canyon, same vicinity.

Oasis in the Desert

I went to the lake today. My friend John and I rode around on old-school-stand-up jet skis. This taste of warm weather reminded me of summertime. I can't wait. I watched these videos to pump me up for the season of warmth.
