Howdee all,
It rained last night and on and off today.
The road out of the campground is full of water and sand.
So we cant leave… Campers that left early in the day cant get back in
Thats alright, we knew this might happen and stocked our pantry..
Besides, look at the view ..And tonight's sunset..Was just gorgeous.. The mountains were pink.. The clouds were pink.. Lots of campers were out taking photos.. So, we don't mind being stranded Its quite comfy here..
Unless you've lived there, you don't often think of the saguaro deserts as a place you get floods, but they happen every year. How tough is life when you are stranded at Catalina State Park?! Great photos of the gorgeous sunset!
ReplyDeleteWell you could be stranded in a worse place. Actually, it's a gift to see water flow in the desert. And besides, what's another day?
ReplyDeleteGorgeous skies to go along with that AZ rain.
Oh, seeing your pantry is full, can I borrow a cup of sugar. I am just a blog reader and I am camped where you are. I wish! (tee hee) Your pictures are as gorgeous as ever, and I get to see them in the comfort of my home. Love you!
ReplyDeletepretty spot to be stranded, glad you were prepared. Love the sky shots Dawn

What a reward for having to be patient with nature!
ReplyDeletealways an adventure!
ReplyDeleteYes, don't mind being stranded with that great panorama sky view.
ReplyDeleteAnd a birdie told me you got your Panasonic back.... How's it working?
ReplyDelete"I don't think the hard stuff's coming down for quiet a while" - actually hopefully its done its thing. Just caught up a few posts, liked the cacti personalities and the Scarlet Tanager, but finding an owl keepign an eye on you always has to be a highlight.
ReplyDeleteYou were smart to stock up and now you can enjoy the view! Lovely photos.
ReplyDeleteDawn, I hope it drys out enough for you to get to Patagonia! Wish I could have been there to see the screech owl!
ReplyDeleteNow here's a place to be stranded..a grand view, a grand home what more can one ask for..oh maybe some of those little morel mushrooms...to put aside that steak and baked spud!! Glad to hear all is well and life is good! Thanks for dropping by and saying hi..I try and keep on top of everyone's blogs but some times the faster I go the behinder I get!
