During a ride to Saddlebrook, I passed this creative use of small Claus hats on cactus.

The northwest side of the Catalinas provide great views while riding.

We went to the Omni National to hear live music on the patio.  The mountains reflect the setting sun although between the umbrellas and trees, the views were not great.  Following the…..

….performance we went inside and played table shuffleboard.  This was my first time and I fell behind but gradually clawed my way back to win.  It’s a lot of space devoted to one game, just off the bar area.

Hilarious where a Halloween display is repurposed for Christmass. “On the Naughty List. No Regrets. Very funny!

Tohono Chul is a 49 acre botanical garden and a popular destination although I had never visited previously.  We arrived to stroll through light displays but it was kind of disappointing.  Paying $25 to see more vendors than lights it seemed.

Very creative!

Our deciduous trees have taken on fall colors including…

….this one outside my condo.  I think it’s an Arizona Ash but not sure.  I’m surprised I’m not able to identify AZ trees, given my interest with trees in the midwest.  I’m generally terrible at identifying any plant or wild life out here except of course, rattlesnakes.  Those I know!
