O.K. HERE ARE SOME PIC'S OF THE AREA WHERE WE LIVE.
 Here is a small raptor sitting in a
dead tree. Most
likely looking for something to eat. |
 This mountain looks like a big
plug to me but
Myra says it looks like a barn with a silo. |
 A desiccated cow - what you
would expect in the
desert. |
 Wanted to show what the high
desert looks like
after the monsoon season .. |
 This flower was
on a vine - this vine covered
large areas including other plants. |
 As you can see livestock - all the pictures were taken in a two hour period. |
 There were lots of these Locusts(?) on the road - we think they hatched (?) due to the rains. As you can see they are cannibalistic... |
 More gorgeous views - of the west side of the Huachuca Mountains. |
 More of the same. |
 Etc. |
 Someday I'll know some if not all of the flowers in the desert - as of now your guess is as good as mine. |
 Sunflower (?) |
 Size of flower bout one to two inches. looks like a pinwheel. |
 More scenery. |
 Scenery, |
To get to this area, we went out
the back (west) gate of Ft. Huachuca. There is a good road for the first 4-5 miles then there is a somewhat passable road that will take you to Parker Lake. It is a nice drive. At the lake you can rent small boats and go fishing. We may try it one of these days. I will put up some photos of our house, inside and out tomorrow. Bye for now .... TOM AND MYRA |
