Goodbye Tundra, Hello Desert!

Thanks to encouragement from Lexi and Sarah, I'm attempting my first blogs from my iPhone - from our balcony at Canyon Villas/Desert Ridge in Phoenix.  

Welcome to "our desert" with the first stop at Pinnacle Peak where we did a hike almost to the top - we are working on getting back into hiking form.

I am obsessed with learning the names of the cacti, and below you will see the iconic saguaro and then the teddy bear cholla.  

If this works, more to come ( though I can't figure out how to delete the pic I put in twice  - oops!)
