I wish everyone following our travels best wishes for a happy new year. I am sure we’d all like pretty much the same thing in one form or another this year and an end to the virus, rational debate among our leaders, and no hurricanes for the Keys. I have to put that in as it would be selfish of me to not care about the Hurricane season for those poor souls left behind!
I have collected here some photos I made while mooch-docking with David and Mary Jane in their special home above Tucson.
I tried to replicate the style of photos I took in the Keys backcountry, close ups and details of a few of the very particular plants in this area, famous for its Saguaro (pro: Sah-wa-roh) cacti waving their arms at the sky. Which surprised me when I discovered it’s the official state flower!
Arizona’s State Tree is the Palo Verde (green tree) obviously named for its bark!
Rusty loves the desert, always alert and listening and watching.
Mary Jane restored an old hut they bought together with one parcel of land and restored the structure which has a fire place and seats but no other modern conveniences. She did bring a totem pole from her native Pacific Northwest as a reminder of her roots.
An exaggerated sunset over Tucson in the over saturated social media style. It does express the loveliness of this place.

Can you tell me what that giant orb is ? Thank You
The orb is a water feature. Water bubbles out the top and flows over the ball. We don’t have water features in the van. (Toilet jokes to follow).
