Emerging

I had a couple of Desert Museum(http://www.desertmuseum.org/) passes to use by the end of the month so C & I decided to go check out the butterfly festival this past Sunday. 

Really interesting and an unbelievable amount of butterflies flying around the park. 

We wandered into an educational building just in time to see a butterfly emerge!

Scott Kelby 3rd annual photowalk

C and I decided to participate in the 3rd annual Scott Kelby photowalk http://worldwidephotowalk.com/
We joined up with the Tucson Desert Museum group - http://worldwidephotowalk.com/walk/tucson-az-united-states-arizona-sonora-desert-museum-2/ and had a great evening wandering the park!  Check out the Desert Museums site - http://www.desertmuseum.org/ Saturday summer evenings at the park is a must do as it was really nice out, some of the animals were up and about and the sunset from there is gorgeous!

This guy really blends in!

Finding scorpions at night was alot of fun-there were kids and adults with hand held black lights looking around rocks and cracks for the scorpion "glow"

More from our whirlwind trip!

I caught this photo while we were driving...reminder to clean the coach windows more often.  Posting anyway as it was too funny to see the big Old English Sheepdog in the passenger seat of the convertible!  (I had one growing up- Sir Winchester of Little John Trail - what a great dog)

This was so cool.  If someone was around I know my husband or I would of had to ask to see inside it ~

We live in the desert, our daughter was born in the desert but we are water babies at heart!

The splash zone...really???  We will watch you- have fun!

We just got back from a whirlwind summer vacation!

Up to Disneyland then sightseeing down the 1 to San Diego and Sea World!

There is truth in the myth that when you walk through the gates at Disneyland you become a child again!  The three of us rode all the rides, had pictures with characters and truly left real life behind while we played with Mickey and friends!

Had my new Canon 7d with me the whole time so I have way too many photos~Disneyland pictures in this entry and beach/Sea World to come ~
