There was an estate sale in our neighborhood this weekend, the departed had been one of those who can cover an acre pretty completely, and it seems it was good cover for the desert tortoises to breed, there were a few there.

I should explain what the device above is Its in a playground The devicve holds bb’s in maze type structure When you turn the black ring 180 degrees The bb’s go to top & roll down the maze --Due to gravity I suppose Butte Newton wasn’t around to explain it to mohs— Making a really cool sound . I figured it out in a short time m  stly |

in my attempt to capture the best way angle possible of the sunlit rose blooms I set up my 3 legged stool, stood up it, and in mid click promptly tumbled and rolled ha ha  A visitor (Dade) immediately ran over to help me up. Cooldude! Then security & first aid personal showed up quickly Nothing serious. Few blood scrapes on arm and hands. And thorns and splinter ha ha Antibiotic and bandages and on my happy way I got a better picture Butte figured you’d all would enjoyed the acrobatic |

Ed! Please be careful when you're on your photo expeditions at the zoo. I'm glad you only came away with a few scrapes and thorn puncture wounds. Nice picture, tho.  |

What he said mohsI was driving the "school bus" van at work Sunday to drop off a group at the old dude ranch on the Hassayampa, the one that Liberace used to stay at. River is still running on the surface after over a month, and there was a group playing in the water out by an "island". I prayed that the melt hadn't caused the folks who run the reservoir up by Prescott hadn't had to do an additional release on Saturday, because it would have just been arriving. They still haven't found the woman who tried to cross it on Rincon Rd after they had a storm upstream a couple months ago. |
