Halloween Decorations

Halloween Decorations

With Halloween fast approaching, I got out my collection of decorations appropriate to the season. They are accentuated with orange and yellow lilies, also good for fall colors. Click on the image to enlarge.

October Skies

October Skies

This was tonight’s lovely Arizona sunset. We get a lot of these during the fall and winter months and the occasional spring and summer sky and cloud shows around sunset.

The weather is starting to be what we call “second spring,” or that time between summer and fall when the weather resembles that of April and May. Still warm, mid nineties highs and mild lows. We should have a great weekend coming up! Click on the image to enlarge.

Colorado River and Mountains near Kingman

Entering Arizona

Sometime last week, we entered Arizona from Needles CA, on our way to Kingman. The weather was threatening to rain, but we managed to avoid any this time. This picture shows the Colorado River from Interstate 40 on the Arizona side with some sharp, craggy mountains in the background. Beautiful! Click on the image to enlarge.

Barrel Cactus Flowers

Barrel Cactus Flowers

We stopped in Wickieup, AZ on Thursday to walk the dogs and stretch a bit. Along the roadside there is this barrel cactus in bloom. I like the pinkish flowers on this one. Second Spring has arrived in Arizona. Click on the image to enlarge.

Bishop Rose

Bishop Rose

The hotel in Bishop, where we are currently staying, has a small rose garden. I paused after we arrived and went over to get this photo of one of the lovely, fragrant blooms. Click on the image to enlarge.
