Changing Fall Foliage at Roper Lake

Lovely colours in this pic, glad you had such a lovely big family gathering.

Dramatic scenery.
That was a big Thanksgiving get-together.
Pleased to know it all went well. :o)

Actually that was a small family gathering for us. When all my brothers and sisters and their families gather, we have a group of about 120. That's how many family members showed up for my Mom's 90th birthday celebration.

Lots of colour in this photo and it looks like a storm on the way... lovely..

sounds like a great idea Skippy, renting cabins and having a family gathering

It was a lot of fun, Irish, in spite of the threatening weather...we managed to fit in everything including kayaking...kids had great fun...clean up has been a bear....thanks, everyone for your comments...

Those hills look magnificent.

I didn't know AZ had lakes.

Arizona has several lakes. Lake pleasant, San Carlos, Apache lake, Roosevelt lake, Woods Canyon Lake, Sahuaro Lake, Lake Havasu, Lake Powell: Those are just the ones off the top of my head. I'm sure I have missed a few.

"I'm sure I have missed a few."

Skippy, I have driven through that state many a time. Never saw one. Until I see a picture, I will remain doubtful.

I would never doubt anything Skippy tells me. :o)

Terratoonie, there is always the first time.

Saguaro lake. That would be one prickly pain in the trunks. I want a google placement link for this lake.

Skippy, bless her trusting heart has never doubted that we have cacti in the Pacific Northwet. I am still begging her for a Saquaro picture. The only one I might have, was one made of recycled green beer bottles glued togther to make a Sequim Saguaro.

That was long ago, and the new owners didn't appreciate the ten foot lawn ornament. I rather liked it.

If you go to the following site, you can view that lake as well as all the ones I named and many that I didn't name:

I did find it. Not bad.

I hope you know I was riding you. Arizona has fantastic FORESTS and lakes much aside the desert land which most consider it to be like. As for birds. Eat your heart out. Hummingbird heaven, Trojon and so much more.

I am sort of glad I did not help my friend Samaya move back. I doubt I would have returned.

Wow..., what a fantastic view of the mountain range, it would be hard to keep my eyes on the road, where they need to be....:-)
