A few years back, the Adult Literacy League sent me to the national literacy conference in Tucson, Arizona. I had the pleasure of hooking up with an on-line crit partner (who, rumor has it, will be providing some of his own shots for a future field trip) for a day before the conference, and he showed me some of the sights. I think there's something beautiful in the stark desert landscape.
And I wish all you moms out there a Happy Mother's Day.
I absolutely love the southwest - the dramatic scenery, the dry heat. I could easily live there. Enjoy your Mother's Day.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Wynter -- at least one of the kids will be stopping by. She's got a heavy workout that morning not far away and figures she can rest and eat. Which is true, as long as someone else cooks.
ReplyDeleteI haven't been out to Arizona in forever...thanks for sharing these pictures.
ReplyDeleteMy pleasure, Debra - brought back some memories for me too
ReplyDeleteI've never been there but it does look pretty. Did you get to eat southwestern food? Don't mind me. I always ask about the food.
ReplyDeleteTerryS - The food was just fine--and the hotel had a tequila ceremony at sunset every night.
ReplyDeleteTucson is pretty awesome. Happy Mother's Day to you!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Carol - I think next week the field trip will be to my street.
ReplyDeleteI love these photos. My son lives in the NW corner of Arizona and some of the terrain is the same, but without that type of cactus. Beautiful country.
