Animals and nature are really important to me. :O)<br /><br />Willie, you guys should go to Arizona.

I had lots of cactus scratches on my legs by the end of the day.<br /><br />Deb, I actually stood behind ROger, who got a lot closer to snakes than I did. But then, he sometimes has to pick them up! (They go back to some lab to have transmitters implanted or removed.) The tortoises were great!<br /><br /><br />Lynn, HILARIOUS! Although I suppose I could write an adult book on that subject. Hahaha!<br /><br />Elisabeth, I'd love to go to Sedona. We didn't have time on this trip.<br /><br />Nance, I think you'd like it there. And Tucson has a (to me) surprising enclave of liberal thinkers! ANd more photos to come.Knatoleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03809822081515082096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10685986.post-12787340391675400632011-04-13T10:53:56.118-04:002011-04-13T10:53:56.118-04:00Thank you for sharing.

We are kindred spirits in that regard.<br /><br />I imagine a snake is not an easy thing to draw but you did a beautiful job. And those mating diamond backs -- how cool is that! So glad you had an enjoyable trip.<br /><br />Another cool excursion that Mike and I did a couple of years ago and want to do again -- we trekked a few miles through the Virgin River Gorge between St. George and Mesquite. It was early fall so the Virgin River was low and we wore water shoes/socks. What a beautiful place.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10685986.post-33649738679636246782011-04-12T20:45:48.541-04:002011-04-12T20:45:48.541-04:00Awseome trip!

We lived in Mesa for about four years in the eighties and went back once a few years ago to show our grown son where he was born. We've been looking at condos around Tucson on-line, wondering if that will be where we land when our house sells. Very helpful of you to act as tour guide.<br /><br />Oh, those sunsets!Nancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15166865250789996825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10685986.post-67714335839814422742011-04-12T14:42:28.050-04:002011-04-12T14:42:28.050-04:00The vegetation and cacti reminded me when I toured...The vegetation and cacti reminded me when I toured the desert around Sedona a few years back. <br />Love the desert critters!Elisabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09549152921396611606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10685986.post-79252303935319119402011-04-12T14:41:04.345-04:002011-04-12T14:41:04.345-04:00Awesome!!

Love the tortoise info - it's bad for it to empty it's bladder. Who knew? And what difference does it make, does it drink what's in the bladder when it gets thirsty? Umm, yuck! Love the cactus, too. They look like they could be very painful!
