This post is long overdue. Back in early March, my friend Karen and I went on a day trip out to Lost Dutchman State Park. We stopped at the park to take some photos and continued on AZ 88 to Roosevelt Dam.
At first, we thought we wouldn't have a good day for pictures due to the unexpected overcast skies, but once we arrived at the park, the clouds started to break up and moved East. I'm thankful they were there because they provided some beautiful backdrop to the majesty of the Superstition Mtns. I put together a little movie of our trip that I hope you enjoy.
Extra special thanks go to James Taylor for writing such a beautiful song.

Spring Has Indeed Sprung!
And it's about time! Well, I can't complain too much. Living in Arizona is a lot like Spring all year round, except for those three hellish months in Summer. I was sitting on the front porch this morning marveling at how green the trees are and how quickly their leaves appeared. 
They seem to sprout leaves overnight. Something I find amusing is there are about eight leaves from last year that have refused to let go. Normally, the trees completely lose their leaves each winter. But this year, a handful have vigorously held on. Click the picture to get a closer look. I also snapped a picture of a pink Hibiscus growing in my neighbor's yard. Whenever I see one like this, I think of my late father, who made a stopover in Hawaii during WWII and fell in love with the Hibiscus flower.
I always thought this odd, because my Dad was a really manly man. I'll never know, but I like to think that maybe he loved the flower because so many pretty Hawaiian girls wore them in their hair.
