Sonoran Desert Museum, Tucson AZ

Howdee all,

I love this Museum…

I am not a big Museum goer…Most museums bore me to tears…

Yea..guess I am lacking Cultcha..

There are only two other museums that I can remember off of the top of my head that I really enjoyed…that kept my attention for longer than an hour…

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and The Spam museum..

I would rather be outdoors…

This Museum..Is mostly outdoors…and it is Delightful!

We stayed for over five hours…..

My favorite museum……….

The Sonoran Desert Museum

Set amongst a desert of Cactus..

Saguaros…

   Yuccas..Century plants

They have added other types of cactus to the landscape.. beautifully done…

   This visit..we enjoyed two shows of Raptors in flight……

(photos to come next post) 

We walked around….. absorbing the scene…Below, others touring the museum…reading signs and learning about the Cactus and wildlife…

They do have animals at the museum..

But this day…I didn't focus on the animals…

I focused on other things……. 

Clouds…  distant blue mountains views..…Saguaro Cactus… Trees of the Desert Prickly Pears…many varieties here…

This day was …

A Cactus and Cloud day…

Doesn't this Cactus below look like it wants to give me a big hug?

Ouch!

    More clouds and cactus A view from the visitor center looking out …

The visitor center blends in nicely with the surroundings..

They have done an amazing job with design here at the Desert Museum..

We enjoyed every minute here…We  will be camping close by next week…

we plan to visit the museum as many days as possible…

I ♥ The Sonoran Desert Museum!

Did I mention we saw two Raptors in flight programs??
