Oldest church in Santa Fe
Spectacular sugar maple bowls
Turned to look like a weaving
And painted with beautiful SW colors

The detailed work was impressive
Completed in 1797, is reported to be the finest examples of Spanish architecture in all of the USA. The front was under construction so no pix of the building…
Pretty little barrel cactus
How the church was built
Prickly pear cactus
Dot and I work on a puzzle, snacks and wine
The Saguaro cactus in Karen's back yard
Looking east from the top of Mount Lemmon
Wondering how those rocks stay balanced up above the road
Out across the valley
More rocks above the cars
Looks like the entire pile could just tumble down

Tucson from high up on Mount Lemmon
Interesting layers in the rocks
Saguaro cactus everywhere
It's a felony to cut them in the wilderness in Arizona
Jumping Cholla is a type of cactus that has easily detachable spines that appear to jump off the plant to people as they walk by
Do not want to get stuck with these
