Arizona

For years I went to Mesa, Arizona every year to watch the Chicago Cubs at their Spring Training camp. This is a great way to watch pro baseball - it's more up close and personal, plus you can see the players hanging out in hotels and restaurants. But of course, Arizona has other sights as well - mountains, deserts, a little canyon....
Phoenix

Phoenix

A little rock group in Phoenix.
Botany

Phoenix

The Phoenix Botanical Garden. It's amazing to see all the different types of desert plants. There's a nice walkway through it.
Brick

Phoenix

The Phoenix Zoo isn't large, but it's nice. I have a brick in the walkway leading up to the zoo - I bought it in a fund raiser. I thought I'd use it, since the pictures of the animals didn't show them too clearly.
Zooflam

Phoenix

One of the few brightly colored animals that I saw - flamingoes! I love these birds!
Overhead

Phoenix

View of Phoenix from up in South Mountain Park. It's a nice drive through the park.
House

Sinagua

A cliffside house Montezuma Castle National Monument. It's in a very safe location, almost impossible to get up into.  And you can see people coming from far away.
Canyon

Grand Canyon

The Grand Canyon definitely deserves the name, it's just immense! I can't imagine what it would be like to be riding or walking along and all of a sudden coming across this awe-inspiring site.
Mountain

Sedona

On the way to Sedona, an arty area, we drove up twisty roads with occasional sightings of cars that went off the mountain (and after a night of partying - not the best combination!)
