This time of year ocotillo are gray thorny stick, so it was unusual to see some leafing in Ventana Canyon yesterday.

Hiking Ventana Canyon — Four Decembers Ago Leave a comment

Ventana Canyon--2 blog Ventana Canyon, December 12, 2010 — Image by kenne

Today I lead the SCVN Friday hike, almost to the date, my fourth December Ventana Canyon hike. As it was then, another beautiful day in the Catalina Mountains. I like the shadows created by the narrow canyon, about five miles north of where we live in Tucson.

I was able to capture a few photos, but the lead position limits the time I would like to have for taking photos — will share some in a later posting.

We are always becoming according to the way in which we actualize ourselves.

Hiking On Christmas Day 1 comment

This Christmas was the first time in years without family, so we spent it hiking and swimming. We hiked for about two hours in Ventana Canyon, which is about a ten minute drive from our house. We thought we would be alone on the trail, but many others took advantage of 70 degree weather and great outdoors. The above picture was taken from our patio, zooming in on the canyon. We hope to make this an annual Christmas Day activity.
