Spring Hiking in the Catalina Mountains
Spring has sprung here in the Tucson desert! Birds are chirping, wildflowers are blooming. This is my favorite time of year in Tucson. Wherever you walk, drive or bike you can smell the sweet fragrances of acacia tree blooms, creosote bushes in full flower, and the blooming grapefruit, orange and lemons trees that almost everyone has in their backyards. View from Catalina State Park to Oro Valley Check out that peanut balanced on a rock. There is a bee hiding in that thistle flower. Can you find it? Ocotillo in bloom Yellow desert poppies, blue desert lupines More yellow desert poppies.
