Two Arizona Wonders

Saguaro Forest

The awesome saguaro forest near Tucson, Arizona, is home to these beautiful gigantic plants--some are two hundred years old. The saguaros have somehow evolved to thrive in this arid climate and are one of the many life-forms which live together here--often depending upon each other in amazingly complex ways.

They are are an inspiration to visit and see.


Nice Lake Havasu

The above photograph is of Lake Havasu from the Rotary Club Free Public Park just a few blocks from the London Bridge.

In  this blog a few days ago I made a bit of fun about the famous  bridge, but the lake itself is an unexpected and beautiful  large body of fresh water out in the desert between Arizona and California.

Since we visited on Easter Sunday there was a lot of motorboat noise but the park had many cool shade trees and green lawns and we even were observers of a pleasant  family Easter-egg hunt.
