The Egret

I asked Google Photos for help identifying this bird, so if I got it wrong I apologize. This bird was wading alone in one of the ponds at Papago Park while looking for its dinner.

Latourell Falls

Latourell Falls is one of the few falls in the Colombia River Gorge where you could potentially walk right up to the water falling 249 feet from the top. Preferring to stay as dry and arm as the blustery day would allow, we climbed down to the water but stayed well back from the water’s impact point.

Salt River Sunrise

Salt River Sunrise

With a few days off, I decided to stay up and head to one of my favorite spots at sunrise. I arrived in darkness and stayed until the sun was well above the horizon and the heat of the day was starting to settle in. The Salt River is the largest tributary of the Gila River and runs about 200 miles before ending at the southwest edge of Phoenix and gets its’ name from the large salt deposits it flows over near the starting point. This lower section of the Salt River where is photo was taken is widely used for fishing, tubing, and kayaking but is also home to numerous forms of wildlife including the wild horses seen in this photo.

Desert Stream

Rivers and streams do cross through the desert here in Arizona. Sometimes big, sometimes small, sometimes dependent on the amount of rainfall we’ve had recently…..but always seeming to stand in stark contrast to the dry and cracked landscape they cross.
