Happy Saturday!
2024 seems to be our year of visiting National Parks. If all goes well, we’ll visit 9 this year. Last weekend we visited Saguaro National Park. Perfect weather…not too hot! It’s amazing how many different varieties of cactus there are. About 2000! Here are a few of the shots I captured:

Beautiful pictures! You have such a great eye for what’s interesting. I especially like the one of all the cacti. I was wondering, have you ever been to Chaco Culture National Historical Park? I read a book about it recently and it sounded very interesting to me. 🙂

Thank you! I learned something NEW from you…I don’t think I’ve ever heard of Chaco Culture National Historical Park. I had to look it up, and now it’s definitely on our list too. Thanks!

Oh nice! The book I read was Spider Woman’s Daughter by Anne Hillerman – it was a mystery and the crime took place there.
