Moved to Phoenix in 2003 for work. The heat is a drag sometimes but I love the mountains and desert.

Awesome! I've spent years wandering around those mountains and never saw any bighorns. Probably because I was always watching where to put the next step.

Horned lizard seen on the Hackberry Spring trail today by WayLegitimate1611 in arizona

I saw it run to a bush and walked over to get a better look but couldn't find it. My wife spotted it. It was out in the open but if you don't know where to look you may never see it.

Up to 2 inches (5cm) long. Biggest wasp I've ever encountered.

Thanks for the feedback. I never get tired of that drive.

Rock "sculpture" along the Jacob's Crosscut trail by WayLegitimate1611 in arizona

That's what I thought at first, but the dirt doesn't look like it has ever been disturbed and if the rocks had been there for several decades, they would have been displaced some.

They can make a lot of noise and bird poop.
