April 2010 -- Tucson, Arizona USA

While in Tucson, AZ we drove to the mountains. For the city dwellers this is a nice diversion from the heat in the valley.



Taking the Catalina Highway up Mt. Lemmon.



That's Tucson in the distance from just a short way up Mt. Lemmon.







As the elevation changed so did the flora, from scrub to Ocotillo and Saguaro to pine forest.




Find water in the desert and it's picture worthy.









And even more worthy if you can get your feet wet.










Birttlebush was in bloom and yellow covered the hillsides.









Wishful thinking










There is a small ski resort on the very top of Mt. Lemmon and a lot of snow for late April but the slopes were closed for the season.
