Sabino Canyon

Sabino Canyon in a national forest park that is about 1/2 mile from our house.  We went up this afternoon to check out some of the hiking trails and wildflowers.

We've had about 3x as much rain as normal this winter in Tucson, so all of the creeks in Sabino canyon are actually flowing with water:

We also managed to spot some interesting wildlife on our hike.  Cardinals were everywhere.

Also the desert types of squirels - no bushy tails, and they live underground and don't climb trees.  This little guy was completely unafraid of us - he was posing for pictures.
