Putting the focus on the Geese gives the clouds a fuzzy look.

We were headed to Palm Canyon about 30 miles south and east of Quartzsite.

This is the end of the Palm Canyon run.

2-19-2018 This is the entrance to, "Tonto Bridge State Park" in Arizona near Payson just north east of Phoenix.
That is not a native to this area. Will tell the name of it when I remember.

This little stream of water created a rainbow you can see in the some of the following photos.
| 
126
A stream runs under Tonto Bridge and flows towards where I took this photo.
|
127
See the little rainbow?
| 
128
There it is again!
|

Looking upstream plus the rainbow.
|
130
One last time for the rainbow.
| 
131
We went closer to the opening and I zoomed to get this photo. This is looking up stream.

Down stream
|
136
| 
137
And this is looking down stream.
| 
138
The first photo's looking down stream were taken across the canyon from that observation point.
|
139
This photo is taken across from the observation platform and looking up stream from the natural bridge.
| 
140
These photos were taken from across that observation point
| 
141
The bridge under the mud looking stuff is where the stream runs down stream under the natural bridge to the right.
|
142
The observation is almost straight across from where this photo was taken.
|

This was an all day trip around a mountain and what we found on that journey.

This is a very unique and very untypical Sguaro Cactus for sure. They have not quite figured out what causes it to look like this but they have a unique pattern that happens once in a while.

Before a Sguaro Cactus grows an arm it is 100 years old at least.
