I went hiking and camping around Mt. Lemmon in the Santa Catalina Mountains north of Tucson. I hiked the Mt. Lemmon - Lemmon Rock Loop trail which starts with the Mt. Lemmon Trail #12 to the Wilderness of Rocks trail and climbs back out on the Lemmon Rock Trail.
This area is slowly recovering from two devastating fires: the Bullock Fire, which consumed more than 32,000 acres around Mt. Lemmon in the summer of 2002, and the Aspen Fire, which came a year later.

I went hiking and camping around Mt. Lemmon in the Santa Catalina Mountains north of Tucson. This is a plaque by the Windy City Vista honoring General Frank Hitchcock for his efforts in establishing this highway.
The Catalina Highway becomes the General Hitchcock Highway when it enters the Coronado National Forest.

Seen on Mt. Lemmon high above Tucson, Arizona. Picnickers and weekend hikers come up to the mountain to get away from the desert heat.

Perfect subject to encounter on my anniversary day: a ladybug orgy? O.o They are clustered on a Common Mullein plant to keep each other warm during cold days and I guess the heat got out of control../:) I shot a few photos carefully and as I turned around to leave, I accidentally hit the plant stem with my monopode and knocked all the lady bugs off... OOPS!!! LOL! My bad!...Tho a pic of them fleeing would have been interesting,but my husband did not agree with my suggestion of disturbing them on purpose lol. Oh well, this will have to do :P
