Tuscon's Backyard - Saguaro National Park November 2013

One of my favorite things from Arizona is the Saguaro cactus. These guys only grow in Arizona and live for about 200 years. These photos come from Saguaro National Park (http://www.nps.gov/sagu/index.htm). This is the overlook to Old Tuscon - which is on my list for my next trip.

In these photos, you can see that the Saguaro cactus make a forest throughout the pass.

In My Parent's Backyard - Tohono Chul Park November 2013

We spent a great holiday weekend with my parents in Tuscon. Instead of fighting crowds (and macing someone at Best Buy), we toured the countryside. We stopped briefly at Tohono Chul Park (http://www.tohonochulpark.org) where I was able to take a few photos of the botanical garden. Unfortunately, the botanical garden was closing early tonight, so my photo opportunities were limited. Here are the first page of the shots.
