Scrappy pages continues with more from Saguaro NP

 

There is an east and west side to the park on different sides

of town which allows for different

plants and species.

Also some exciting roads getting too and fro in the park.

 

Above and below was when we hung out and had

lunch at Jerome which is a totally cool

place to go. Also taking back roads and hanging on

Route 66 - so many things from yesteryear.

 

We also took the long - short cut to the Grand

Canyon. As we've been there 3 or 4 times - first time

for me on our honeymoon 💗

and it never fails to be it's beautiful self.

Not too much journaling on the canyon 

but I did get chatty 

about the drive over.

I also found I liked the pamphlets going that

direction, however, I'm afraid there may be some

inconsistencies. LOL.

 

Scrappy pages in my 6x8 album

 

Actually, all the parks have pamphlets of some sort

and it tells so much more than I would

wanna chat about in the journaling

which as you can see not.real.chatty.

 

 

 Then there's OMGEE put stuff on the photos.

I like to think I was over that a long 

time ago, but alas, I don't really mean it LOL,

 

So just to keep things steady on in my mind

for these photos I didn't add too

much embellies.

I did flip the pamphlet only because I punched

the holes on the wrong end but

found I love it because it sort of encompasses the 2 pages.

 

I do have to say, that the 3x4 page pockets

also present a challenge.

The majority - and I mean majority of my photos

are landscape.

Had to do some tricky photoshop although

I do admit that cactus are perfect for portrait.

I'm getting better.

 

 

Saguaro National Park - East Rincon

Meanwhile in the other side of the park

things seem to be a bit more lusher and taller.

And don't forget the mountains everywhere.

Prickly pear cactus.

A blurry cholla. 

Still cool.

If you see a hole in the cactus - that's where

birds are nesting.

How cool is that.

Love the drive through - it's still pretty and

hasn't gotten old.

 

Saguaro National Park - West

 I had no idea that the Saguaro National park 

was sooooo big. 

This is the western part of the park

and of course cactus everywhere...........

The straw man standing in front is actually the skeleton

of a Saguaro cactus.

These are walking stick cactuses love the pretty color red.

Love the landscape it's wild and beautiful.
