Nov. 30 – Cactus Study

A stately saguaro cactus near camp.

A closer look at the ‘arms’ of the cactus.

Remember, look down too! This tarantula wasn’t too far away!

Nov. 29 – A Walk and a Ride

We took a 5 mile walk cross-country without Mavrik, he was recovering from the 8 mile walk yesterday. We found this cute tiny pincushion cactus under a bigger bush.

The 1 inch long fruit is eaten by little desert rodents.

After lunch we took a motorcycle ride, again without Mavrik, he hasn’t learned to sit on a motorcycle. We rode up to a communications tower then into the desert.

We don’t know who stays in this trailer, but it must be mighty hot in there!

Nov. 28 – West to East

An early morning moon-set to the west.

And turn around to the east to view a beautiful sunrise!

And a cute picture of Mavrik, cowdog!

Nov. 27 – Another Beautiful Day

A gorgeous end to a great day in the desert.

Actually we went into town to do errands and resupply, but we had a wonderful evening back at our campsite.

Nov. 24 – A Nestled Moon

The moon, like a pearl, nestled in the arm of a saguaro.
