And Now Back to AZ...

Hot in desert in AZ!
So let the dog play in the stream.
They called it a river, but really.
It was a stream.

Tried to get the ball and chain dog to fetch the ball.
She did it a few times.
Til she decided she'd rather sniff the flowers instead...

Then oh so conveniently tucked the ball up under a root in the stream riverbank to never be seen again.

Pretty cottonwoods.

Or so I would assume these things were...
We were in the town of Cottonwood after all!

Antiquewood.

Coololdsignwood.

Spent a morning at Tuzigoot Indian Ruins.
Dog friendly paths!
And the best museum full of way cool Indian relics.

Arrowheads.
Baskets.
Bowls.
Amazing!

Not that I took any pics of all that cools stuff...

Lunch in Cottonwood.
Explored the antique stores.
Poked around.
Still hot, so back to the stream.
And enjoyed a nice glass of vino to top off the day!
