Oasis






Brooke and I went to this really cool little park north east of tucson. It was basically an oasis like you see in the movies. There were just these giant palm trees and swamp/pond in the middle of no where. Then if you followed a stream 50 yards up it just stops into a bubbling spring. Needless to say it was really cool. There was a huge pond with ducks and frogs, and we got to see great horned owls chicks. When we pulled up we could see a guy with a tripod pointing his camera at a palm tree. We got closer to ask him what he was looking at and he showed us. 3 great horned owl chicks. The mother was around he said earlier, but he didn't know what had happened to her. So we enjoyed our time by the pond for a little while. I could have gotten better pics of the owls if i had a longer lens, but alas that will have to weight for another day.
