We attended a New Year’s Eve party at which I thought at 10pm, we’d celebrate the new year with the east coasters. That’s kind of how things usually roll out here with the now, 2 hour time difference. But no! On to 12am our time. The host played an electric guitar for 3 hours and he was quite good!
The new year rolled in with a new system straight from CA. Upwards of 1″ of rain came in over two days.
So very rare to have one day with continuous rain and then it passed and is my custom following rain I…..
….once again headed to Sabino Canyon for a 2.5 mile hike past the usual attractions.
The child in red, on the right, loved sliding down the slope into a shallow pool.
I close on Sabino Canyon Road where the hill side is blanketed with cactus. Once reaching the road, the hike gets kind of boring as I return to the parking lot.
And then another system arrived and with it, as always, dramatic views of clouds and mountains.
And now, an extended period, at least 10 days, of glorious sunshine!
