When All Else Fails

Go ride! What do you have to lose?

There is Water in AZ

One of the real benefits of mountain biking is getting close to where the real action is: water in AZ!

Funky

Oak trees cast a funky shade.

More of this ornamental looking plant.

Name this Plant?

Along the Walker Road, you see these curios looking plants. What are they called?

Mountains, Oh Mountains

View from along the Spruce Mountain Road climbing up.

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..

Rugged West

One look down from the Spruce Mountain makes you appreciate what the word rugged really means.

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.
