“Southwest Splendor” (Arizona, USA)
Many people have the misconception that the desert simply means “bare.” But…that is not always the case. Arizona has a rich array of splendid flora and fauna.
When my wife and I drove around the state…we were captivated by all of the varied land formations, animals and desert plants. Arizona is really a special place. You can lose yourself in the beauty…which is a good thing!
Please enjoy these photos that I took during our time there. 🙂

Thank you for following my blog and for liking “Timepieces for the New Year,” “Open Colleges Interactive Brain Map,” and “A Tale of Two Trees.” Nice photos! 🙂 My family and I drove through Arizona on the way to visit my aunt in California. I saw part of the Grand Canyon, but that is all I remember about Arizona. Looking at your pictures makes me think that I should have paid more attention to the beautiful scenery there.

Yeah, when we are kids, we often do not appreciate natural scenery like we do when we get older. It is a beautiful state. Thanks for the comment! As always, you made another great contribution to my blog. 🙂

You are welcome. 🙂 Yes, you are right. What is important to you as a child is usually different from what is important to you as an adult.
One interesting place in Arizona that I read about is Antelope Canyon. It is a slot canyon, and people like to photograph the beams of light that shine through it.

The desert has its own unique beauty. I still prefer lush, tropical islands though 🙂

Looks like you enjoyed Arizona! Me, I am not the biggest fan, but that was because I lived there. I love green, trees, and grass to fully enjoy the beauty, but I know many others who adore it. Great pictures!

Thanks! I grew up in the Hudson Valley right outside of NYC. I know what you mean about “green.” It was beautiful. I enjoy all forms of beauty. To me…beauty is beauty. I can enjoy the desert just as much as a tropical island. Thanks for stopping by. Pleasure to meet you! 🙂

I never gave Arizona a second thought until life conspired with retirement and we found ourselves spending our winters here. We have learned what you know. The state has a special beauty all its own.
