When your partner in crime calls to tell you that our friend from O H I O is coming to town… you say YES to a get together! Because you know it’s gonna be fun!
Ingrid, on the right, from Live Laugh RV and Teri on the left from Images By T Dashfield are great friends! And we are known for hanging out with wild horses (see them above Teri’s head?) And can be attacked by squirrels… stay tuned… more about that later in this post.
In all seriousness… we are friends who met through our Blogs. So why not get together and go hiking in beautiful and amAZing Arizona!
First off we had to find the wild horses of Arizona . After a few hit and misses we found them and they were incredible. Sleepy… but incredible!
Like us, they were enjoying the view of the blooms from the wild Poppies and Lupines…
This nice lady was there taking in the moment just like us but instead of photographing the horses… she was painting them.
It didn’t take us long to get back to the get away car… 🚘
To Hike to these wonderful areas…
These mountains called 4 Peaks… hardly ever have snow… so this was a treat for ALL of us!
After hiking all over Tonto National Forest in AZ…
We needed a much needed break!
Then came our big Surprise!
Ingrid packed us a picnic lunch! 🧺 And took us to a spot with a gorgeous view of Saguaro Lake! Thank you so much Ingrid! I even had a small glass of wine! How nice of you my friend!
We had visitors at our picnic!
The birds were not shy…
But neither were the Squirrels! 🐿 🐿
There was more than just one… and they would have sat on our laps if we let them… but they frightened me due to… they are WILD! One even jumped up on our table with us sitting there. So yes… we were almost attacked by the squirrels! 🐿🐿🐿
After all that excitement…
We were off to hike around Saguaro Lake…
We had a wonderful day! Blogging friends who gather to enjoy nature …together!
And we didn’t even get into TROUBLE! However, there’s always next time!
Thanks so much for reading. We had fun and we are so glad you came along!
Great pictures from a fantastic area! Thanks for sharing. 🙂
Pit… we had so much fun! This area is absolutely gorgeous! I had a hard time narrowing my choices of pictures. Thanks so much for coming along!
How much fun you had comes through in your and Ingrid’s posts. Maybe Mary and I will be in AZ, though in a different part, in autumn. We might do a lot of travelling in the southwest. But all of that is still in the planning stage and not finalized at all.
Autumn is a lovely time as well as the heat of summer is gone. Let us know when you decide to head out this way!
Will do.
Fun fun. Too bad we weren’t still there.
Yes… we were thinking of you and mentioned how beautiful your captures of our Wild Horses are! These horses were bedding down after eating all the green grass of the green desert all morning! 😊
Such a fun day. We’ll need to do it again! Let me know when you’re ready for a hike. Gotta get out and enjoy the wildflowers.
The poppies and Lupines are in full bloom! Perhaps this week sometime!
How about Tue, Wed or Thur for Pinnacle Peak Trail? I need more wildflower pics 🌸
Thursday may be a possibility… I’ll text you.
Works! 👍
You know I’m jealous of you going for the wildflowers again 😉
Fly back out!
Don’t think I don’t want to!
You are welcome to join us anytime, and I promise to be your very own personal tour guide 😁 no charge!
Gee golly! hahaha
Love the wild horses – amazing!
We loved them too!!
Shared experiences with girlfriends are the best!
You said it so perfectly! Thank you for the visit!
YEE HAW!!! Or something like that. Even with the killer squirrels we all had a wonderful time. Looking forward to doing it again 🙂
Hurry back!! A hiking we will go!
