via cell-phone in Sabino Canyon...


...went for another evening bike-ride in Sabino Canyon tonight after work--that magic hour around sunset...

A few cell-phone-camera views:

...the hills around the entrance to the canyon are blazing yellow with brittlebush in bloom...

...at the upper end of the canyon, looking up the saguaro-studded slopes...

...after the steep ride up, ahh, the sweet view down;

but now with the warmer days, and the creek still running--

as soon as the sun goes down, riding downhill feels at times

like riding through airborne needles as the insects
collide on your face and arms--better keep your sunglasses on

to prevent being blinded by bugs...
