My Everyday Photos

From Bisbee we drove to Sierra Vista and a lovely musical evening with Jennifer and Judy’s friends. The next morning after a hearty breakfast we headed to Ramsey Canyon, a Nature Conservancy Preserve. Ramsey Canyon is known far and wide for its excellent birding. But not in December. It is a lovely landscape with some interesting human history as well. Just downstream from the TNC property is the Arizona Folklore Preserve, a place where Notable Exceptions (Jennifer and Judy) have performed several times. We made a short stop there to admire the grounds.

Ramsey Canyon has a wonderful mix of deciduous and evergreen trees and succulents too. Some like ponderosa pine and Douglas fir were familiar to us. Others like an unusual madronne and sycamores were new to me.

This house was built to replace the previous one

The newer house was built with this view!

Folks at the visitor center said the fall colors were mostly finished. They must have been amazing before we arrived!
