Benson, AZ

I drove to Benson, AZ yesterday to visit with a client. Benson is more rural than Tucson, and the early-morning drive east on Interstate 10 was enjoyable. Turning south at my destination, I crossed a cattle guard near Cochise College. The monsoon rains had provided moisture enough for this plant (Sacred Datura) to blossom, and the sun was just right.

(It's amazing what you'll find when you're looking for blog fodder!) Looking down into the flower, I was surprised by a little polka-dotted beetle having breakfast. Cute little guy, isn't he?

Have a great weekend, and thanks for stopping by to visit.

It's a catchy and inviting slogan for a Cochise County Real Estate agent to be able to pass on in this blog post through www.activerain.com. Yes, www.thepepper.com is an uncommon group of real estate agents involved in Arizona Real Estate to help buyers make educated decisions. Sellers have the benefit of a world class IDX and website feed base that is nothing short of limitless in it's scope, both national and international website diversification and a great place for people who are relocating to Arizona to find their abode in a short period of shopping time. It's a buyers market here in Tucson, Benson, St. David and other Pima County and Cochise County real estate regions. So please, by all means, "pick the pepper", Peter did and look where it got him.
