Alaska, wild and beautiful

Flowers and waterfalls

Glaciers and whales

Bears frolic and eagles soar

Goats traverse the hills

Float planes and cruise ships bring visitors

We come, we photograph, we leave

We remember

We return

Sierra de la Espuma (Superstition Mountains)

Near Apache Junction, AZ, the superstition mountains rise above the desert.  Lost Dutchman state park has may trails that lead to spectacular viewpoints.   The purported site of the Lost Dutchman gold mine beckons you to explore the legends and lore of the area.  I enjoyed my visit, but one visit is not enough.  The superstitions are calling me back.

Oh Sole Mio

Sunshine lights green hills

Clouds envelop stone faces

Dolomites beckon
