A quiet day.



Our Location: Near Tonopah, Arizona
 
Hiking, lunch and Riley baked some cookies today. Other than that not one exciting happened, so I'll leave you with still more photos from a hike I took a few days ago. Today I once again stayed on the desert floor making my way round trip just under 5 miles. I meandered here and there and was home at just about the 2 hour mark. Not a bad way to spend some time. Enjoy the photos. 
 
It's not as smooth as it looks, is it?

An amazing amount of force to break this, I'm guessing it happened when it fell.
 
The broken rock in the above photo is on the left under the flat top area.

The Ocotillo's are getting ready to bloom Deb. 

Such a pretty colour, aren't they?

I can't raise my arms any higher!!!!

It's my favourite mountains over there.

I just can't believe the colours here.

I couldn't get up there to the top, what would I hang on to?

Some folks might try that but not me, I'm a 'lets not fall and break my neck' type of climber.

The views are always interesting.

A good seat if you could trust yourself to sit on it but not me.

Do you see the face?

I like the saguaro you can see at the top of the rock, very far away, appears small but isn't.

I'd love to climb up there but of course it won't happen.

I followed this path.

Very deceptive but it's truly quite steep.

I made it almost to that narrow passage between those two outcroppings but changed my mind.
 
Thanks for stopping by, I hope you enjoyed your visit. 
 
Until next time... take care, be safe,
 
Deb

  1. I never have witnessed the desert come to life like it seems to be doing right now. For that reason I am really enjoying your pictures.

    1. I'm glad to share them with you. You have the heat this year though as it's been cold, damp and overcast most of the winter.

      Take care, be safe,

    1. It was quite the face. I noticed it following me with it's eyes.
      I"m hoping to get back into the box canyon and see some blooms in the next day or two.

      Take care, be safe,
