June 20 Pima County Courthouse and Tohono Chul Park

     I worked at the Benton County courthouse in Prosser, WA. for 4-1/2 years.  It was a big square brick building that looked like a lot of libraries and other government buildings built in its 1925 era.  Then I moved to the Kennewick office, which was housed in a single story office building.  A few weeks ago we went to a music festival downtown and ended up watching an act that was performing in the courtyard of the courthouse.  I wanted Tom to take pictures so I could send them to my former coworkers, but he said it'd be prettier real early some morning.  Today was the day that we were there at 6:45 and the moon was still out.


The door to the Assessor's Office - same dept.             The elevator was closed off since this was a Sunday
I worked in in WA.                                                      and this is an open walkway from the front
                                                                                    courtyard to the back one.




Tohono Chul Park in Tucson
This is a desert landscape park that also houses a greenhouse where plants are grown for them to sell.  We bought 3 small pots of cacti that I'll use in an indoor display in our home.
      one of several lizards we saw                                                              example of Southwestern wall art


this wall had a nice sound when the water went from vessel to vessel and birds knew where to get a drink
an Indian petroglyph rock

a native bee habitat
the round cactus is appropriately called a barrel cactus
