Spring!
The Palo Verde's in Tucson are in bloom and I'm dosed up on Walgreen's brand Zyrtec and feeling pretty good.
I went out with my friend Julie to do The "turquoise" trail around the downtown Presidio neighborhood. The trail is a loop around the historic district where the Old Pueblo used to be.
The first stop was a chunk of the old original fort built by war lords (or not, there were live re-enactors there and they were blocking the signage. We don't go near re-enactors. So we had to wait until one of the popped away for water before we could check out the barracks.)
But I did snap a shot of Julie pretending to discuss politics with the local mural men.
And this awesome sign advertising that this old hotel has a swimming pool — refrigerated!
It was a nice breezy day and despite everything in downtown Tucson being closed so that we couldn't get food and water while lost on the trail ...
It was a great walk in a cool part of town on a beautiful day.
Jeffrey was home studying.

Enjoyed the pix--will have to do "the trail" next time I visit. Picture of real person talking to mural people especially cool. Hope all is well and you can keep those allergies under control!!!
