i had gone to Tohono Chul...

...this past summer but completely forgot to post about it.

It was magical. They opened the park at 7am due to the encroaching summer heat, so I got there at 7:15 and pretty much had the place to myself. It was SOOOO beautiful and very inspiring!  I really want to take my empty slate of a backyard and mock some of their ideas...

 as a geologist, this part was so awesome! a geological history of the Tucson Basin - geology 101...and they used some of the actual rocks that they referenced :) well done

I would love to have stairs like this to get on my roof so I can star gaze at night!

I'm gonna do this outside at my house

Who knew eggplant came from such lovely flowers?


P1000950
I want to get a veggie garden like this!

P1000964
a great alternative to grass

Beautiful doorway...



Then I spotted this quail and he put on a little show for me. I had never seen one this close up.
