Hiking Old Stamp Mill Trail

Posted in Family, Outdoor Adventures, and Photography

On Sunday, we decided to head out and enjoy the Lord’s creation by having a picnic by the water and then hiking the Old Stamp Mill Trail at Picacho State Park.  Little did we know that our idea of having a picnic by the water would be foiled by a windstorm. Project 365 – #025 As you can see with this picture of D walking towards us, the wind was really kicking.  We decided to find a more sheltered spot away from the crazy wind to enjoy our lunch.  After lunch, we began our hike.  The cool breeze felt nice…

Sculptures at the Airport

Posted in Family, and Photography

Project 365 – #022 Grandma and Grandpa’s flight was delayed almost an hour, so we had fun exploring the airport.  I had been at this airport only once before back when I was a teenager.  Honestly, I don’t remember it, so it was new for all of us.  We found these fun sculptures and had to take a few pictures. We were pleased to find several different types of these sculptures with different patterns and colors.  I think they are abstract saguaro cactus.  At least, that’s what we saw when we studied them.  What do you think?
