My life as a grown up

In the crisp, fall, Arizona night, I thought it would be good a idea to reminisce about the beauty of an Arizona summer. Although, stifling hot and sometimes unbearable, good ol' AZ can be a downright lovely place.

The desert can be a scary place...

You must have water with you at all times.

You must also drink said water at all times.

And also take breaks to take in the scenery and absorb your water.

I had to sneak up real' quiet-like on this little guy for this snapshot.

Beeeyoootiful butterfly - more like these to follow.

I was in my element! Those are kitten scratches on my shoulder in case you were concerned.

This little guy was sick... but he took a liking to me.

Gorgeous....

Staring contest...

And this concludes my tour of the desert.
