Escapees Campground

 We are at an Escapees Campground just outside of Benson, AZ.  It's a wonderful park of over 350 sites each set up with a small Casita or shed.  These sites are member owned & we parked in this one because the owners were away, so they rent it out to other Escapees members.
 Our view was wonderful & these 2 horses made appearances almost every day to see what was happening in the Park!!

 We've been photographing a very large cemetery in Douglas, AZ - over 7,000 stones.  I had reached to clear some weeds & flowers from in front of a stone & this little fellow hopped out!  Glad it was a rabbit & not something slithery!! I appeared that I just woke him up.
 Here's another of our "cemetery critters".  John had reached in to rearrange the wreath so we could see the date & touched this Momma Dove.  He quickly backed away & left her alone - she wasn't going to move anyway. 

 We took in a Bluegrass Festival in the Park in Benson last weekend & it was excellent. The weather was beautiful & the music was great.

 There was a group of over 30 kids there also who played bluegrass & sang.  They were excellent as well.
This hummingbird feeder was next door to us & this bird was trying & trying & trying to get a drink but his larger beak just wouldn't work.  He kept flitting from one hole to another to another.  Poor guy!
