December 16-17, 2020 McNeal, Arizona

 59 degrees and sunny.


I finished this basket today. It is 12 1/2 x 10 x 2  inches and is made from natural and dyed pine needles,  glass beads, stitched with polyester thread and the center is a dichroic  glass lizard I fused. Front and back. I like it. .

We saw cranes again tonight at White Water wildlife refuge. We got there earlier than last night while there was still some light on them. Thousands.  Covid social distancing sign where we watched the cranes. . 

Snow Geese and cranes.

Cranes and cranes dancing. 

Two cranes flying overhead. We went to Coronado National Memorial today. It is right on the Mexico/ US border. It gets very hot here in the summer.

Looking back into Coronado National Memorial. Yaqui Ridge Trail is closed for border fence construction. You can see the fence in the upper photo, it is a long straight line. And the fence on Naco, AZ, 20 foot high steel structure. 

View into Mexico from the top of Coronado Peak. John on the trail down from Coronado Peak. We hiked 1 mile/300 feet elevation round trip to Coronado Peak. 

View north of Coronado Peak. John is taking a photo of the road runner than  lead us down the trail. 

Arizona White oak trees. They are evergreen. 


John on the trail to Coronado Cave. 1 mile round trip and 500 feet elevation. A road runner, Sponge Bob Christmas decoration at the RV park. A map of Coronado Cave.

Oak tree. In downtown Naco is the Camp Naco fort. It is the only fort built out of adobe brick. It is abandoned now. 
Downtown Naco, AZ. The border crossing is at the end of this street.
