Day 1
Leaving for Meyer Sibling Reunion Tucson AZ
 |
Upon arrival at Jeff & Michelle's home we were
amazed at the beauty of this Bougainvillea plant with
brilliant red flowers. |

During a walk in the neighborhood
we saw this plant which reminded
us of Ben's book called "The Plant" |

Today we're hiking in Catalina State Park |
 |

 |
| Cool wild flowers |

Five years ago this section

I did take a picture of a fast moving lizard |
