Electrical energy into light. 💡

Day 9 of the February Photoblogging Challenge: Mudy.

While visiting the Salt River wild horses today I noticed this horse that had been having some time in the mud recently.

Salt River Wild Horses

Today we visited Coon Bluff Recreation Area to see the Salt River wild horses. The non-profit Salt River Wild Horse Management group helps provide for these wild horses, and they are currently putting out hay for them each day. You can visit while they do this and walk among these wild horses but you need to be slow and calm, and keep your distance. The horses themselves were skirmishing a bit. It gets your attention when twenty horses start stirring and running around you. I brought the good camera with a long lens to catch some photos of these beautiful horses.

Day 8 of the February Photoblogging Challenge: Hope.

This is the first Saguaro cactus flower, arriving over a month early, showing hope for another spring.

Saguaro National Park

We visited Saguaro National Park today. We didn’t have a ton of time so we only (and accidentally actually) went to the East park. We did a quick hike but it was our second hike of the day so we didn’t go too far. It looked like an incredible set of trails for hiking and the loop road was very popular with cyclists.

Sabino Canyon

We visited the Sabino Canyon Recreation Area today on our day trip to Tucson. We took the shuttle to the top of the trail and then made our way down stopping at several locations. It was a very pretty walk and fun to see the spring creek with running water down the canyon. We had to cross it barefoot and the water was very cold!

Day 7 of the February Photoblogging Challenge: Craving.

Treats from Mesa Donuts. 🍩

Driving to Tucson for the day and introducing the kids to some country music with Hank Williams Sr., Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, and even The Cactus Blossoms. Tyler declared it “not modern” and I fully agreed. 😊🎶

Day 6 of the February Photoblogging Challenge: Sport.

Wasn’t a lot of “sport” options today but Tyler likes to wear Bayern gear nearly everyday. ⚽️
