Is this Arizona?

This year has been such a wet year for Arizona, we have had a TON of rain. As an outcome the dessert is BEAUTIFUL! We went for a hike a few weeks back with Tom, Ellie, and Lizzy to enjoy the scenery. There was a blanket of green with beautiful wild flowers everywhere.

This is my favorite cactus. They look so fuzzy, that is why they are called the teddy-bear cholla. But don't be deceived, they are still part of the cactus family and are poky like all the others, I had Donny check to make sure.

My favorite part of this picture is the bathing beauty to the right.

There was a little slide in the rocks that went in to the spring. The water was still pretty cold but it looked so fun.
