Video: Fantastic Views to Maverick Springs.

There are plenty of fantastic views along the Green Mountain Trail in the Santa Catalina Mountains near Mount Lemmon in Tucson, Arizona. Join me on my hike as I explore the Green Mountain and Maverick Springs Trails, and take in the wonderful sights of this beautiful area of the American Southwest.

Sunrise.

On Tuesday mornings I get up a little earlier than usual so I can take the garbage can to the street curb. Every other week I take the recycling bin as well. I don’t do this the night before because we have feisty javelinas in the neighborhood that like to snoop through our garbage.

The neighbors are not spared by the javelinas, either.

Getting up early at this time of year affords me the beauty of the first glimpses of the sunrise. It’s a good way to start the day.
