Another Trip into the Desert

After the Monday morning hiking meeting we packed Little Red and headed back to the desert to hunt down more hidden treasure...geocaches. We were on the hunt for a unique saguaro and we did find it.

It is the only saguaro in the area that looks like this.

I have no idea why it has all the extra bumps.

I have not seen another like it, anywhere.

Very interesting!

This 4 inch lizard was blending with the rock.

Then we went into the community of Queen Valley

to conquer another geocache. I had seen this adorned tree

on a previous quick trip through town. I insisted on a drive-by

on Monday so I could get a photo.

A tree full of bird houses

Interesting shapes and designs

And a couple of chickens

And donkeys and a camel lying on its side

Some interesting yard decor

A spot of spring color in and around town

These must grow wild as I have seen them in yards

in AJ, too.

A successful day when we find all the intended caches

and I get some interesting photos, too.
