Enchanted Hide Away

Every now and then it's nice to share photographs of things I love and the adventures my husband and I take.   We love to take our cameras and just "pick a spot" --  to familiarize ourselves again with this beautiful state.  One of those weekend trips took us to Florence, Arizona.  Florence is one of Arizona's oldest towns.  Founded in 1866 and now the seat of government for Pinal County.

This quiet little town is located between Phoenix and Tucson and is home to our State Prison.  But don't let that put you off.  There are so many attractions, like Pinal Pioneer Parkway (State Route 79) and the Tom Mix Memorial, or Poston Butte.  Charles Poston is known as the "Father of Arizona" and was the first elected delegate to Congress from the Arizona Territory.

Vance and I love to watch the Arizona Highways program on Sunday evenings because it provides great ideas for our adventures.  We decided this particular weekend to stay in a little B&B along State Route 79, which has been designated as a scenic desert preserve.  Our destination, Rancho Sonora.  What a find!

Come to Arizona and visit.  You won't be disappointed.  Until then, it's my pleasure to share this enchanted hide away with you.

Hasta la proxima, bendiciones a todos.
Until next time, blessings to all.

  1. Wow, Susie, what gorgeous pics (and music enhancing that link.) I need to learn how to do that with my camera. I've got a great DSLR - just need to learn all it's features. Looks like a great place to visit. Perhaps we could incorporate a trip there when we visit our son and his family. Thanks so much for sharing. Hugs,
