Photos and thoughts on my travels

Walnut Canyon/Prescott

Mary Ann is another college friend. She drove up from Prescott to see us our second day. With the Pandemic, we haven’t seen each other in years. But that doesn’t matter. We “get” each other so well.
Pueblo ruins showing the view from a cozy ancient home. they were in both sides of the canyon and able to collect water as it drained from the plateaus above.
Who knew there were sizable lakes in Prescott? Here’s an egret. Mary Ann says Prescott is actually amazing for birding because the migrations stop over here.
Nice place for a kayak. There are SUPs to rent but too expensive and getting cool enough out to not be worth it. There are also MTB trails, but they look pretty technical.
We saw a “White-lined Sphinx” caterpillar. I must recommend the “Seek” App. It doesn’t get everything, but it’s cool to be able to look up what the moth looks like too. The caterpillar is cooler though. It’s iridescent and impressive in size. I almost stepped on it, I’m glad Mary Ann pointed it out.
Prescott is prettier than I thought. Mary Ann is worth the drive, but the added benefit of pretty scenery is always welcome.

    I loved getting to meet Maryann and see ruins! Loved our night at the Raven in Prescott seeing Juniper Djinn.
