Camelback Resort~That's My World 053111

We didn't stay here this weekend, but were down the street, so Saturday morning I drove over to Camelback Resort for my morning walk. I saw lots of quail (even 1 baby one!) and rabbits. There were quite a few other birds around, including cactus wrens. We're going back in July and we'll spend 3 nights at the resort. Hubby can sleep in and I can do my morning walk! :-) That's My World for Tuesday, May 31, 2011. To view That's My World, please go to: http://showyourworld.blogspot.com/

Camelback

We are over in Scottsdale for the weekend. And, I awoke at 4:00 a.m. today...sigh...so I got dressed, checked out a few blogs (thank goodness for The 7 MSN!) and headed out the door by 5:00. I drove down to the Marriott Camelback Inn, parked the car down by the lobby, and walked (hiked) up to the top of the mountain behind the hotel. Phew! Guess my morning walks are REALLY paying off as I wasn't winded at all! I remember a couple of times I got so winded that I didn't even make it to the little Western town up behind the hotel. That's pretty bad. But, this morning, I had enough energy to hike up there and to take one of the trails (that is, until I LOST the trail and wound up in a bunch of cholla! ACK! I was out & about for about an hour and a half and I waited until the sun was up. My companions were quail families with teenagers running around and 1 baby quail! I saw rabbits, some real cute baby rabbits, and a noisy parrot which was loose and screaming around the hotel flower gardens! Here are some pics from this morning. Enjoy your day!
