A Beautiful Day

Weather:

Sunny
High - 78
Low - 41

Our beautiful weather has returned, so we decided to go to the Arizona Sonora Desert Museum today.   Most of our time was spent looking for birds (we didn't find much), but we found several javelinas out and about.

We had packed our lunch , so we sat in this secluded courtyard and ate it.  It was very relaxing.

In spite of the recent cold weather, we were able to find some things in bloom.

Several days ago we went to Agua Caliente Park.  It's a small oasis in the northeast corner of Tucson.

The park used to be a home, so there are several buildings and nice gardens.  This photo is of a Velvet Mesquite tree, which is thought to be over 200 years old.  I imagine in the heat of summer it provides a nice shade canopy over the house.

We found a few birds here, but again it was just a beautiful place to be.   We're looking forward to a week of temperatures in the upper 70s.
