Hi Ladies,
As you know...I'm moving from Hot-as-Heck-Phoenix and starting a new life in San Fran! By the time you read this, I will probably (god willing) have moved into my new apartment. Yay! A lot of people may not know anything about Phoenix...except that it's the place where escaped convicts go to live out the rest of their lives, people get relocated for witness protection and that it can be substituted into any sentence that calls for Timbuktu. For instance, "After Sam ratted on the mob boss, I heard he was moved to Timbuktu or something...yeah...Phoenix." - OR - "Such and Such escaped off a prison bus some where in a small town in Arizona...yeah...he joined a pack of Coyotes and loves rattlesnake meat!"
Maybe this is just my perspective, since I'm from the east coast, but until I got offered a job there, I didn't even know where Arizona was on the map! I certainly didn't know that it's the center of a party vortex (exactly 6 hours from Los Angles, San Diego and Las Vegas). I've also learned that there are quite a few magical things about Phoenix that you would never guess! :)
- It rains about 10 times a year here! This may not seem like a plus, but if you like outdoor activities, like biking, hiking or taking pictures for your blog...you will be able to do 365 days a year. If it does rain, it's only for about 10 mins.
- There are also so many animals here and they are always about! During spring, which runs from February to May, everything is hatching.
This is the underside of the roof of my car port. There were 3 baby bird nests this year! I don't know what kind they were, but one day I got to see a wobbly one, stand on her feet at the edge of her nest...I assume she was about to take off, but it looked like she feel asleep and I couldn't wait for ever. LOL
This is the view from outside of my living room. I go biking here. (You can't see it, but there is a trail.) I see a lot of Coyotes and rattle snakes here.
However, I also get to see cute stuff like this. These little bunnies are everywhere in Phoenix and there are tons of babies during spring.
Well, there you have it! A tour of phoenix from an animal lover's perspective. :)
Have a great week! :)

I took the picture on the left from my car with my iphone. Sorry the quality is so bad, but I doubt the birds would've waited. :)This is a mommy quail (or daddy) with her little babies following behind her. So cute...you can barely tell, but there are 5 of them. (The picture on the right, is what the babies look like up close.)
