Wait, there are Water and Trees in Arizona?
The San Pedro River is Flowing
One of my favorite things about the location where I live in that with a lot of the pictures I take, you wouldn’t know this is Arizona unless I told you.
This is a pictures of San Pedro River near the Charleston bridge. Sure, if I was to show a much wider view from a drone or something, it’s definitely surrounded by desert. But for a couple hundred yards at least on either side of the river, it’s overgrown grass and lush green cottonwood trees.
This river, and our equally out of place for southern Arizona tree covered mountains are what make this such a great location for wildlife, and especially humming birds.
It also helped that for the first time in 3 years, we were slightly above average here in Sierra Vista for our monsoon rainfall totals. And now with the arrival of cooler fall temperatures, I expect that I’ll find myself down at the river fairly often.
What are some of your favorite things about where you live?
