A cacti fairy land

A wonderful day in Arizona. In the morning I went to a park in the city then to the Art Museum. It was really nice with western themed art, plus Native American pottery and Navajo rugs.

This afternoon and Evening I went to Saguaro National Park. The Saguaro cacti are those tall ones with the arms you see when you think about the desert. 

I was surprised at how dense the plants were- and so many different kinds! I hiked a little but not too much as it was very hot- heard it was hot in Ashburnham too:)  I saw a bunny and a couple of little lizards too. Lots of birds!

It was nice to be in a national park as they are celebrating their 100 anniversary this year! This is the Visitors Center.

I am really looking forward to meeting my Earthwatch team tomorrow!!
