Hello and Welcome In! I can’t believe I’m posting my 75th Edition of Tuesday Tidbits! On this 75th Edition I have an Adventure for you! We are lucky as we live in the Wild, Wild West with wide open spaces. We love our desert and so do our friends so we gathered a few of them with their 4 wheel drive vehicles… and with some Social Distancing… we headed out to find some Water Falls!
On the way we saw beautiful flowers. It’s Spring in the Desert!
We love seeing the flowers but we also enjoy the variety of landscapes that the Southwest has to offer us.
In this case… there were a lot more boulders but larger. Are you able to spot a saguaro or two? That gives you a reference as to how big these boulders were.
Finally we get to our destination…
Whenever you find water in the desert… it’s a good day!
This water led to a beautiful pool of water. But getting there took some work! We had to climb a lot of boulders.
The pool was beautiful and refreshing!
But since we didn’t bring our trunks or bathing suits… it was time to climb up and out.
Heading out to the desert and seeing nature did us all some good!
Wishing all of you to stay well and to Stay safe my friends!
Thanks for the beautiful desert flowers this morning! What a fun day!
It was a fun day! I had trouble this morning with WordPress crashing on my iPad. The videos should be up and running now. Technical Issues this morning!
Thanks for viewing! Stay well!
I love the sound of gently gurgling water! 🙂 Thanks for sharing.
You are very welcome! When you live in the desert and find water… it’s a great day!
Happy Tuesday my friend!
🙂
You two have so much fun and that mariposa lily is amazing! Never seen one before ♥
We do have lots of fun! He is always up for an adventure! And that lily is special!
Yes, water in the desert is always a special treat. Sounds like another fun day exploring, but it’s getting a little too hot for this gal. None the less, I’m loving all the blooms and our precious saguaros have started budding.
HOT is the operative word! Too early for my liking but the mornings, evenings and nights are cooler.
And yes… the saguaros are blooming!
Thanks for coming along with us on our adventure.
By The Way… I just saw this comment from you. It was in my Spam folder. Goodness Gracious WP likes to have fun with us sometimes!
Nancy, I love your explorations around your beautiful state. The mariposa lilies are stunning as are all the blooms that you find. I love the sound of a waterfall, it is so soothing. Thank you for inviting us along on your adventures. It is always fun and exciting.
Happy Tuesday and I always look forward to your Tuesday Tidbits. I remember when you started them in memory of your Dad. I can’t believe it is number 75.
Oh thank you for remembering that these Tuesday Tidbits are tributes to my Dad! He would have celebrated his birthday last week and would have been 107 years old!
This adventure was fun! It’s so good to get out and enjoy nature! But seeing those falls was a real treat. We are going to head back when it’s a little cooler… late fall… and hopefully after it has rained. Hopefully the Falls are flowing more robust.
And how about those Mariposa Lilies… we never saw them before but a friend who was with us knew of them and was so excited to see them! There were red ones as well… but the brush was too high. And I was not about to go into the brush as it’s snake season!
Happy Tuesday and thank you for all your gracious comments! Stay well my friend!
I remember the first one you posted. Wow, 107:…I know you miss him! I always love your adventures! Stay well dear friend!
There is nothing quite like beautiful colors bursting forth from the brown and grey earth. Spring is such a time of resilience and hope.
What beautiful words! Thank you for the visit! How nice of you to stop by!
Thank you for a beautiful stroll in the dessert.
My pleasure… and thanks for the visit. Always glad to hear from you … it reassures me all is well with you!
Things are well here. I hope that all is well with you too.
Doing well… but hoping for all this to just go away!
Us too
Here’s to your 75th edition, Nancy 🥂🍾🎉 congratulations 🤗
Wooooo Hoooooo ! Thank you so much!🥂 🎉
You are most welcome – and we will be allowed back into some of our National Parks as of Saturday morning – yeah! 🥰 – but only if they are within 50 km (31 miles) of where you live. It’s something.
Little steps! In the right direction!
If it’s what we must do – little (baby) steps – then it’s what we will do 🙂
Exactly!
Flowers and waterfalls were beautiful. Traversing those roads I’ll leave to you experts. 🙂
This road was pretty easy. But spectacular beauty along the way.
Stay safe and so glad to hear from you. It’s always good to know that you and yours are doing well. 😊
What a wonderful outing! I so enjoy what grows in the desert and am blown away by the color of the mariposa lily.
Same here! We loved seeing them scattered in the landscape like orange gum drops! So glad to hear from you! Stay well my friend!
You’re right about the joy in finding water in the desert. You hit the jackpot! Love finding flowers in the desert. I’m waiting for the cholla to burst out. We have seen a few blooms but more are coming!
We want to go back in the fall and perhaps after a wee bit of rain.
I have been watching your adventures on Facebook! Fun! Fun! Fun!
Take care my friend!
And thank you for the visit!
A nice adventure! Those boulders, wow, that would scare me! I love seeing your dessert in bloom, and the paddle cactus, swoon!! Be careful out there!
Jenna
Thanks so much Jenna. The desert in Spring is fabulous!
I do have to tell you that my walking stick is not only to help with the hiking but it also helps at making vibrations when I bang it on the ground to scare snakes away! 😳
Oh!! Yikes!!
What a wonderful hike! Beautiful spring blooms.
Thanks Amy! It was a fun day!
I thought you were going to say “Since we didn’t bring our trunks or bathing suits we went skinny dipping!” 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Lol! Now that would have been a sight!
You made me laugh out loud!
Good!!! Have a great week!💖
Thanks for the visit and the laugh!
You’re welcome Nancy!
The big spaces you two can safely explore out there are inspiring, Nance. Stay well!
We are very lucky! Thanks for the well wishes and you do the same!
Water in the desert, how very special your outing was. Thanks for the adventure.

Hello New Friend! Nature sure does help us during this crazy time.
