A Day at North Ranch


Welcome Sign

Our morning here began by meeting a lot of nice folks while we were walking Angel and Zoey. All of the folks here are friendly and talkative. Must be the gorgeous weather here.


Beautiful scenery to match the weather


The view surrounding North Ranch

We met Kay & Joyce (they call themselves the two crazy sisters) and Kay was walking her Doberman that caught our eye.

This is for Nicole & Shane, we finally saw a Doberman on our travels

We then pulled our bikes out and began our tour of North Ranch. The development here is beautiful. Gina has fallen in love with all the flowers. Almost every cactus here is in bloom. There are a lot of birds and animals here too.

Rabbits run all day here at North Ranch

Later in the afternoon we rode our bikes into the desert behind North Ranch which goes on for miles in all directions.

I can see why Mike and Pat love riding their four wheelers out here. You could ride for days and still not cover all of it.


Gina & I hope everyone has a pleasant and wonderful day, enjoying what our Father has so graciously blessed us with.

  2. Glad you guys are enjoying North Ranch! Those flower photos are beautiful and that quail is a quail! We are headed back down your way tomorrow, probably right back out to our spot in the desert--it hasn't gotten as hot there as predicted has it?

  3. We gotta get ourselves up to North Ranch again some day. Not this year, probably, but maybe next spring we can visit the place. We love our Arizona deserts, and your pictures are splendid. Thanks for taking us along.
