Photos, Here & There

By Our Readers

 

          We live in a beautiful place, filled with interesting sites and scenes. The Peak receives many wonderful photographs taken by our readers and we'd like to share a few of them with you. Don't be shy. Send us your favorite photos of our area. You never know, they might be showcased in one of GPPA's publications.

       

Linda Carlson just moved to the Pinnacle Peak area from Washington. She's enjoying taking photographs of the beauty that she sees from, and in, her backyard, and then sending the photos to her friends up north.

The Editor cannot resist. In early January, he and his wife, Judy, travelled "down the hill" on two occasions to enjoy three of the 2011 5th Annual Arab Horse Farms Tours, just off Rio Verde Drive. On the second day, we continued down the hill to Needle Rock Recreation Area and the Verde River.
