Watery Wednesday - 7 Falls

We went for a walk on Monday. The destination was Seven Falls, about four miles from the Sabino Canyon parking lot. Since this area has been in a drought, we didn't expect to find spectacular water flow. And we didn't.
There was a trickle of pleasant sounding water.
To get an idea of scale, there are two people sitting to the left of the semicircle of sand near the center of the image.

I liked the golden color of the mountaintops reflected in the shallow pools.
The guide book says this is about a 3-hour hike. It took us six, but we did get to enjoy many of the sights and sounds along the way.
As Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "Life is a journey, not a destination."

Ruby Tuesday - Birds

These are some of the birds with the color red observed recently in this area. House finches are commonly found in the garden while the other two are more often seen while walking in the desert. These are all male birds. Pyrrhuloxias resemble female cardinals don't they?
