Hiking Pima Canyon

This photo is one that I shot downtown in Tucson. This palm tree was in this dark courtyard and I wasn't sure how it got enough light to live!

Today the Hiking Club hiked up in Pima Canyon as far as the dam. With all the rain that we've had, there was plenty of water in the canyon. We had 24 crossings of the rushing stream. The stepping stones were well-situated, though, so it was doable.

The hike was beautiful, with lots of green, small flowers blooming along the path, and perfect weather for the morning. While it was in the low 40's when we left, it got up to the low 60's. Lots of wind, and some cloud cover, but it was good for hiking!

We arrived home in time for Jack to have a rushed shower and then we hustled him off to his PT appointment. He's getting his shoulders worked on, to hopefully relieve the pain that's been dogging him for several months. And it rained! When we came out from there, it was pouring.

We stopped at Jones Photo to pick up the prints that we'd ordered. Tomorrow, we'll mat our three favorites to enter into the contest. And then we were off to Sweet Tomatoes for a delicious dinner!
