Ladybugs action in the desert is spicy today! I even found a few larvae!

Shady retreat under oak and sycamore trees near a dry wash.
Bluejay in the branches of an oak tree.
Nice getaway. Spent the day hiking, hunting for rocks & whittling a walking stick under some shady Oak & Sycamore trees. Bluejay in the branches above. ⛰️🥾🪵🪨 #TontoNationalForest

Tonto National Forest land, known as Oak Flat, to Resolution Copper, which plans to mine what it says is the second-largest known copper deposit in the world. #Arizona #TontoNationalForest #OakFlat #Scared #Sad
#TontoNationalForest
a beautiful place w/
wild horses
- the first casualty
of the TOXIC new agenda
It is on the edge of oblivion
as we speak
With all the agencies
disrupted
there are 0 obstacles
to speak for
groundwater
toxic spills
decimation of wildlife
etc
EXCEPT THE PEOPLE
🇺🇸
☎❗🏞🌵
A beautiful cave
w/ clear blue water
found along a hiking trail
This land is worth fighting for 🇺🇸
copper mining will deplete
the groundwater
expedited
Environmental Assessment will
destroy it
via Trump's fake
defense/energy emergency

Katie McGregor posted on "X" on 28 April 2025 4 photos "Evening in Tonto National Forest" 2 pics have her looking out at the distant mountain ridges & the other 2 have the mountain tops from a distance, along the ridge line. One pic has some small cactus species & other plants on the ground in the foreground. (The cactus is small & near the ground, not like the big tall ones.)
Enlarged from set of 4: low to the ground cactus in the foreground and mountains in the distance. (Sense of faint greens in the dry landscape, spring time.)
Tonto National Forest
is a beautiful, wild place
Parts of the region
have been sacred
to the Apaches,
long before the settlements of our 🇺🇸
Eisenhower in 1955
saw value in the preservation of this incredible landscape.

post found on "X" "Bob Bear Trail aka Fossil Springs Trail... leads to Fossil Creek Falls, a breathtaking spot with Crystal clear water, a large cave & waterfall" The water seen in the video, inside of a cave is a beautiful turquoise blue+green & so very clear that it looks like glass. It is incredible! 🇺🇸✨💎
Tonto National Forest in Arizona has beautiful hidden water caves, filled with clear blue water.
Amazing trails lead to breathtaking waterfalls.
Once mining has depleted
the aquifers, these
treasures will disappear.

Gary Hensel post on "X" on 22 April, most likely 2025 Salt River wild horses Tonto National Forest #Nature #EarthDay In an area of standing water or in a stream, wild horses are scattered about in this dry land of Arizona. Two horses were standing on hind legs in confrontation - their mouths seem to be touching or biting each other, a great moment snapped by the photographer! Their front legs are also connected in the moment!

Tonto National Forest
is a beautiful place,
where wild horses
& other wildlife roam free.
It absolutely will suffer if
mining depletes its aquifer,
at a daily amount equaling what the city of Phoenix uses

We saw creative architecture, a magical nighttime art exhibit at a botanical garden, and viewed Phoenix lights from a popular lookout.
