Memorial Day Hike at Lake Pleasant


First stop: the Agua Fria river for a nearby geocache.


Next stop: Lake Pleasant
Little green things in the water :o)


See the turtle?


Cattails galore :o) I like cattails.


Eek! Spider! (Just kidding).


Same spider after I touched it. Some people's children.


The stream and the cattails.


Holey.


Curly leaf.


Same curly leaf with a skeeter.


Baby versions of the curly leaf. I think these are giant weeds growing along side my favored cattails.


More cattails.


Lucky shot, butterfly.


This is for James.


I leaned my arm on a tree branch to steady my camera to get these spider shots. As I did that, another spider crawled on my arm. I took my pictures and the spider walked off my arm. While the spider was on my arm I had a mental picture of watching myself jump up and down, shrieking like a manic because a spider was touching me, but everything turned out ok. I don't even think my hiking buddy knew I was on the verge of an "insect is touching me meltdown".


Lake Pleasant hiking scenery, this is why I come here.


I *heart* you
