Mt. Lemmon Pine Originally uploaded by Teri DCEaster Sunday we drove up to Mt. Lemmon just for the heck of it. It is more than 8000 ft. in altitude and there was still enough snow for skiing. I brought my painting supplies with big plans to paint, but unfortunately I only painted this pine. The altitude got me--headache and feeling punk, so this is all I have to show for the trip.

So I guess I will just stay away from high mountains.

Tucson, AZ is a desert town of dreams. I fell head over heels in love with this place and I cannot wait to go back. I heard that Tucson had a creative culture sprouting up and it did not disappoint. We stayed at the most adorable and well decorated Airbnb ( @adobe_libre ) in Barrio Viejo.
