Lady Bugs of Spruce Mountain


Every summer tons of Lady Bugs make their pilgrimage to the high country. They hang out right by the very top of Spruce Mountain. Even the Arizona Highways wrote about their interesting journey. I will try harder this summer to capture them, here is one pic from last July, but I think I caught them too late, because there were not too many there.

Fresh Water



After a good rain there are a few flowing water falls along the Spruce Mountain trail. You see in Arizona, it is a luxury to have that..

Roses in Water


Last summer my rose bush just took off blooming so I plugged a few buds and put them in this vase. When the sun hit the water and the roses just right it was pure pleasure.
