Donald Duck seen in Flagstaff!

We were in Flagstaff this weekend enjoying weather, hikes and various creatures. We found this great little lagoon at the country club that you can walk around enjoying the ducks and other birds. This Mom and ducklings were very cute.
Jump right in the water's fine!
This is the view of the lagoon with our own Mt. Eldon (which we see from our window) in the background.
"I just got back from the beauty shop! Do you like my new do?"
When we were kids living next to the canal we had a duck like this visit and stay for quite awhile. He became one of our many pets and we loved him dearly. He came to us because of the canal, stayed because we kids loved him so much! We named him Donald Duck. I think this is his great, great, great, great, great, great, great grandson!

We went on a hike in the same area in a small part of the largest ponderosa pine forest in the world. These pictures are from that hike.
I've always liked the bark of the Ponderosa pine tree
These clouds come and go every day. The morning is usually clear and the clouds start rolling in mid to late morning and it often rains in the afternoon then the clouds are quickly gone!
One of my favorite flowers, Indian Paint Brush.
