We have been treated to beautiful sights here in Prescott and the surrounding areas. This white tail deer was feeding in a neighborhood just east of town along with a younger buck. It seemed as curious about us as we were of him.
Picture was taken by an unknown fellow hiker, just yesterday, at Goldwater Lake, just 4 miles from town, one of several lakes within an easy driving distance from Prescott. Here are some photos of our time together, dad and I, enjoying a late summer day. This was our first trip to the Lake, but not our last!
Dad enjoyed the day, perhaps even more than I as he sat listening to the call of a couple of hawk, the honk of the white goose, the quack of the ducks and the distant chatter of kids fishing and playing by the side of the lake.
A view on the Senator Highway just three miles from town; the mountain in the background is called Granite and for good reason. Its elevation is 7626 feet, a mix of pine and rock, just north and west of Prescott.
Earlier in the day, we stopped by the rodeo grounds to watch the 4th annual Arizona Draft Horse and Mule Association competition. Can't beat the price; it was free!
Yes, the above horse is a Percheron. What a beautiful animal!
Since it has been a few weeks since I have posted here, I thought I would catch you up on a couple of family pictures for good measure...
In good humor they all posed as they were leaving for a super-hero party hosted by family friends. Here is a picture I took just this P.M. as I composed this blog. August will turn two years old early October. What a little cutie pie. He already speaks in full sentences and it a sweet little boy - most of the time.
We are planning a day trip to the Grand Canyon in the next week or so. The high tourist season is over and it should be a beautiful sight. I hope all is well with each of you, family and friends alike.
