It was a beautiful, warm afternoon yesterday and hubby was at work (...happy dance!...), so I decided to take a drive up into our local mountains and alongside Deep Canyon. I didn't go visit my horses at all because I took our cat, Abby, to the opposite side of the valley to be spayed. I ran errands all morning, once I dropped her off. I'm glad I had an opportunity yesterday afternoon to do some more exploring, although I learned that my Honda CRV, while it is pretty good on some roads, just isn't a 4-wheel drive! I nearly got stuck after taking these photos. The dirt road became full of ruts and I wasn't sure I'd be able to turn around further up, so I turned around in an area full of cholla! ACK! I also could hear branches scratching the sides of my car! Hmmmm....hubby keeps saying that next year (i.e. January, I hope) we'll buy a truck and believe me, I can't WAIT! I'd really like a 4-wheeled one, so that we can get off the main roads and get back into areas to take photos. As it was yesterday afternoon, I got further back on this road than I ever have before, but to drive any further, I'm going to need a 4-wheel drive. But, I'm happy with these photos from yesterday. I heard some chattering chipmunks and two very noisy bluejays! SOOC and Scenic Sunday for December 12, 2010. To visit Scenic Sunday, please visit:
