For our entire marriage my husband has been telling me about the beautiful Superstition Mountains outside of Phoenix, AZ. I recently had an opportunity to meet up with him for a long weekend out in Phoenix.

We drove into the mountains for a relaxing day in the Tonto National Forest and nearby Lost Dutchman State Park.

Everything he raved about over the last 20 years was no exaggeration. I hope to go back again soon with all my camera equipment to capture the desert in full bloom.

What fun! I love the desert. And you have captured the essence in your photos. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are AMAZING! I was only in Arizona/New Mexico once but your pictures bring back the same feeling I remember. So different than Michigan. We have a beautiful country, don't we?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the compliments on the photos. It's an amazing landscape and nearly impossible to mess up on the photos. Every shot was a winner since everything is so unusual and uniquely beautiful. What an amazing place!
