the pix are beautiful mom- there is nothing as a blue spring sky in arizona i don't think. it's amazing. that snake is iiiiicky. no thank you. i've never been the the mines- just heard about them. i think i would be a little freaked out going inside too. mostly because of snakes & other such creepy things. but it is indeed intriguing. thanks for sharing
