Desert Garden

 We spent a day geocaching in the Scottsdale area.

Sometimes when geocaching in busy neighborhoods, a cacher has to provide a distraction or use stealth. I take photos to help 'disguise' my search.

It is rare to see saguaro arms growing from the base of the saguaro, like on this one.

We ended our day in the Scottsdale area with a stop at Desert Gardens, enjoying the sculptures.
