I've been there so many times, I'm sure I have other blog posts on it - but this is my recent visit:

Thanks Beth for sharing these pretty pictures. You sure did catch lots of desert bloom in Tucson this time!

Sheila, I'm not sure what those two tall ones at the end are, but definitely different. I thought of you when I took pics of the following Palo Verdi's.

Good info about vultures. I used to dislike them until I visited a bird sanctuary in Sarasota. It was a very quiet day and no one else was there. A black vulture kept looking at me while I stood in front of his cage. I think he was trying to figure out if I was a keeper. Anyway, he jumped off his perch, flew over to a corner, and picked up an orange pumpkin squeaky toy and dropped it in front of me. I was impressed by that bit of intelligence.
