This towering Saguaro, close to forty feet, fail across a trail near the Sabino Creek Dam. This big fellow had no arms even though it had to be well over 100 years old. There were no signs of disease so it may have just gotten too big for its root system.

Capturing The Moment — Deer In The Desert Brush Leave a comment
Deer In The Brush — Images by kenne
There are a lot of deer in Sabino Canyon, but often difficult to photograph because of all the thick desert vegetation through which to walk. These pictures were taken near the Sabino creek dam.

David Lazaroff — Early Dam Considerations In Sabino Canyon Leave a comment
David Lazaroff In Sabino Canyon — Image by kenne
“In the last years of the century (19th) Tucsonans devised increasingly elaborate schemes for bring the waters of Sabino Creek to Tucson, but none were carried out. Then, in 1901, Sherman M. Woodward, a young professor in the Department of Mathematics and Mechanics at the University of Arizona, formulated a plan so compelling that it would influence events in Sabino Canyon for nearly four decades,” writes David Lazaroff in his 1993 publication, “Sabino Canyon – The Life of a Southwestern Oasis.” It was all about trying to bring water to the booming city of Tucson. During Lazaroff’s talk on Sabino Canyon, to the 2011 SCVN trainees, he shared the history of attempts to dam Sabino Creek, which I have edited into a minute video.
