Here is a reason Arizona is so great for artists, the photo on the left was taken a couple Sat. ago just outside the town of Superior. Those are Calif. poppies around the giant Saguaro. The pic (2 weeks ago)on the right is from
Sedona, ice and snow and very cold water. Desert season changes are difficult to predict on timing. You have to be ready with your boots, gloves, hat, but also bug spray and sunblock. Before the flowers all go away try to take a trip out the Apache Trail Hwy88, or east on Hwy60 to Superior then down to Ray, the Arboretum is full of spring blossoms. The terrain is so rough but beautiful. Take water and be ready, the weather can change very dramatically in a couple of hours. The Beeline Hwy is lovely and very green. Yes, we have seasonal changes you just have to get out of town to really enjoy them. South Mountain is covered with green and poppies. Even down at The Farm on 32nd st. is lush with spring flowers and the organic garden is full. If you want to watch painters struggle with the flowers come out to the Lost Dutchmen State Park on March 22 in the morning. There is a State Park Paintout that morning with artists coming from all over to paint the color. That park is actually nicer in the afternoon with the low sun, but the views are always amazing. LD is off the Apache Trail just past the town of Goldfield. After checking out that park go on out the Apache Trail it is a slow lovely road with every turn providing you a great view. Don't be in a hurry, take your camera and a sack lunch. Use a low gear and hopefully your driver has already seen the sights!
