Hello… and Happy Sunday Friends!
Are you ready for some
SOUTHWEST LOVE!
Many people think the desert is brown. We live in the Sonoran Desert here in amAZing Arizona. It’s far from Brown! I hope I can make you think otherwise?

And yes… we have lakes here as well…


Wow, wonderful photos, Nancy. The desert is so beautiful.
It sure is… and thank you! We sure do love it here!
Nancy, your Sonoran Desert is breathtaking, every image is truly stunning. Watson Lake, the wildlife (wild horses), the flowers are all beyond amazing! Thank you for taking me for a ride this morning in the comfort of my chair and a cup of steaming coffee,
Happy Sunday dear one❤️
Thank you Pam! We do enjoy it here. The weather right now is perfect. The best time to hike and have fun in the desert!
Happy Sunday to you too…my dear one! ❤️
I like ‘your’ dessert and your photos could be picked up by the AZ tourism they are so beautiful especially the one with the road going down the center. 🙂 I’ve only been to Phoenix a couple of times and must admit it didn’t call to me. 🙂
It’s because you didn’t let us take you to the Back Country… lol!
We are so blessed to live in a country where we have so many beautiful sights! Oceans, lakes, purple mountains majesties and sunsets/sunrises that never get old.
I am so happy you enjoyed being here this morning… we shared a cup of coffee together. 😊
Have a beautiful Sunday my friend!
Nancy, did my comment show up?
It did! And now I get to hear from you a second time! I am now truly blessed! 😊☺️
It is beautiful there. You captured it wonderfully in your photos. I can see why you love it so much.
Thank you! And best of all… we have our health so we can get out there and enjoy it all! Thanks for always enjoying and leaving such kind words. Hugs! ☺️
Beautiful! and other than the coyote not things we see here in Michigan.
It’s a different world. But that’s what is so wonderful about our beautiful country… we are truly blessed with beauty East to West and North to South!
Thank you for the visit! 😊
Love the desert! It’s far from dull and brown, you just have to notice it.
Indeed Mary… you said it so perfectly! 😊🌵
Such gorgeous pictures for this Sunday, Nance! You live in a such a beautiful place! I know you must enjoy it so! Happy Sunday, sweet friend!
Thank you Shannon! We do enjoy it so. There is so much to do and see! Thanks for the visit… Happy Sunday my friend! 😊
Beautiful photos!
Thank you! 😊
Thank you for the visit!
Thanks for the photos, enticing me to come and see Arizona – again. But there was no enticement necessary, as very likely Mary and I will be back this autumn, among other things to finally get our 10+ miles on a bicycle in that state. The – tentative yet – plan is to stay in Tusayan and bicycle the Grand Canyon Greenway, plus a longer visit to the Grand Canyon than we were able to enjoy last September. And another visit to Sedona will – hopefully – be possible, too.
Sounds like a wonderful trip! You are going to see beautiful scenery and a fabulous bike ride as well!
Happy Sunday Pit! 😊
We are really looking forward to that, especially Mary because she was so handicapped when we were there last September. Now – hopefully – she’ll really be able to enjoy it.
Yay for Mary! And for you too Pit! 😊
🙂
Arizona is absolutely amazing, especially in the winter. Beautiful photos Nancy.
Oh How you? I need to stop by and see how things are going with you!
Thank you for the visit! And I know how much you enjoy AZ… but now you have new places to explore! 😊
Beautiful photos. A nice array of critters too.
How about those critters! I should have shown photos of our Owl who comes to visit at times!
Thank you for your kind words and for the visit!
Owls are a winner. I like how the cow is red like the rocks in Arizona. When we were on our way to San Diego in November, west of Phoenix, there was this huge cloud of what looked like smoke. As we drove over a large arroyo we could see that it was a heard of horses running in the arroyo raising a huge cloud of dust. It would have been a great photo from the right location. It was too late to get a photo of it by the time we saw the horses.
That’s a great story! That must of been a wild, Wild West stampede!
I agree that there is beauty in the desert. Thanks for the memories. I am going to reblog this exellent post.
Well Thank You So Much Betty! How kind of you!
Yes the desert sure is a lovely place! It’s like a gift… once you start to unwrap it… you see what beauty is within! 😊
Thank you for stopping by! 😊🌵

This post brought back memories of our time in Arizona
It is stunning and gorgeous Nancy! I loved seeing the wild burros and horses {the coyote not so much!} And cactus, I LOVE love love cactus!! I know there is always so much to see and do there, thanks for sharing!
Jenna
You definitely showcased our little corner of the world beautifully. Now, where shall we go next?
Thanks so much my Arizona friend! I wonder where you are taking me next! 🤔
You do our state great justice!! Awesome pics….I see you got Lake Watson in Prescott!! Stunning capture! I love Prescott with the town square and courthouse in the middle. I f=grew up in a small town in Iowa that had the same thing. Not something you expect in an Arizona town! I recommend Sharlot Hall Museum in Prescott if you guys haven’t done that yet! Great post!!
Thank you Kirt. We will investigate that museum!
Prescott Square is gorgeous… all the seasons! Plus Prescott has a few other lakes that are also quite lovely.
Thanks for stopping in! Happy Sunday to you!
Beautiful photography!
Thank you so very much! Thank you also for following along! There’s a little bit of everything over here at Two Trails One Road!
I found you through Betty’s reblog. I’m looking forward to reading more of your posts.
Fabulous! So glad that you are! And I am thrilled that Betty re-posted this post!
Oh Nancy so much beauty!!! You make me want to live there!
We love it here! And you can see why!
Fabulous images of a beautiful landscape!
Thank you for your kind words! We love it here!
Wonderful images! I visited your area years ago and these photos make me want to come back!
Thank you for your kind words. I’m glad I brought back great memories for you! Hope you are able to come back and see the area again. 😊
It’s definitely more beautiful than I thought!!
The Southwest is full of beauty! Thanks for the visit!😊🌵
What terrific captures! Love, LoVE, LOVE the one of the wide burros! Great post!
Thank you so much! And it sure is good to hear from you again! I have missed you! 😊
Love the pictures. We are planning a trip to Scottsdale soon and we cannot wait to explore Arizona on that trip.
Enjoy! This state has some amazing skies and gorgeous landscapes!
I’ve always wanted to visit!
Hope you can!
I love Arizona. I stayed in phoenix for a couple of months back in 2015 and loved it. I love the huge cacti and beautiful mountains of Arizona.
I am so glad you enjoyed our amAZing State! Come back and visit!
I will someday 🤞
