During our October trip to Arizona, we crossed the Hassayampa River and noticed some people painting the pylons under the pedestrian bridge across the river. We passed by again later in the day and documented what a good job they did. Roll your mouse over the image below to view the results.
We read an article in the Wickenburg Sun that told about a group of student volunteers that did the work under the supervision of several adults. Local sources donated paint and materials for the project.

During a little side trip we took today, we passed this interesting rock art alongside Arizona State Route 89 near Congress. Some artist saw this rock formation as a high-desert frog and decorated it accordingly. Click on the image to enlarge.

We’re on our way back to California today. While we were en-route, I took several photos of the antenna ball on our SUV. Every time I snapped a photo, Jack was smiling. I guess Jack loves Arizona.

We visited the Desert Caballeros Western Museum in Wickenburg, Arizona today. This beautiful bronze sculpture of Apache Warriors was part of the Museum’s art gallery. There were so many wonderful pieces, it was difficult to choose which to include here. Click on the image to enlarge.

I’m a couple days late for Flag Day, but I’ll share this photo that Verna took in Wickenburg during our May visit to the Wickenburg, AZ, Chamber of Commerce. The “Out Wickenburg Way” motto seen on the town flag is also the name of a website about the town and what’s happening there. Click on the image to enlarge.

Several months back (a year maybe?) my digital keyboard gave up the ghost. I have been thinking about a replacement, so I went on-line and ordered this one. It’s a Yamaha 61-key synthesizer. It got very good reviews and was priced around $270 USD including shipping and accessories.
I started playing when I was five years old and I have almost always had a piano or organ, so I sort of missed having one. I’m looking forward to playing this nice new shiny rig.

Tonight we’re watching a football bowl game - the “San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl.” I guess that bowl game sponsorship is important these days, but could we just have them call it the “Poinsettia Bowl” and mention all the sponsorship stuff in a subtitle? It probably won’t happen, but it would be nice.
Meanwhile, take a look at this nice poinsettia growing on the front porch. Image credit, Verna. Click to enlarge.
