Treasurers of Lost Dutchman Mine

 

Treasures of Lost Dutchman Mine

No, we didn’t find the mythical Lost Dutchman Mine in the area around Apache Junction, Arizona.  But we did see some treasures the area had to offer!

Sunrise at Lost Dutchman

One morning, while camping at Lost Dutchman State Park in Arizona, we happened to be up and about just as the sun was rising over the Superstition Mountains.  Although the sky promised a sunny day, the west side of the mountains and shrubbery was still in shadow, creating a very serene, peaceful scene.

Desert Bloom

Along the road called the Apache Trail, just outside of Apache Junction, Arizona, I spied this lovely example of the sort of “desert bloom” one can see in the high desert climate.  Enough moisture for this tree to get a good start on life, but not enough to sustain it in the long run.  The ruggedness of the area, and the dry, barren look of the tree, just seemed perfect for a black and white version of this scene.

Enjoy!
