Sabino Canyon (Tucson)

Today was relatively cool in the Tucson area with highs in the mid-80’s. We visited Sabino Canyon, just outside the city limits. I was surprised to find many of the cactus still in bloom, including this prickly pear.

The forecast was actually calling for clouds and a chance of RAIN!!! The clouds started building while we were in the canyon.
