road trip…..day four

We spent two nights and two relaxing mornings at the B&B in Tucson.

Our first photo op today was Barrio Historico. If you enjoy shooting doors, windows and walls, you’ll love the Barrio. I’m only posting a couple of photos but also check out this great gallery I found. Tucson Barrio.

After a leisurely lunch at Tucson’s historic El Charro Cafe, we head south to Tubac to our next Bed and Breakfast; The Tubac Country Inn. Great location, great price.

Unfortunately, we got there too late to check out the town and shops so we hurried down to Tumacacori Mission. As it turned out, we only had 30 minutes to shoot before it closed. This mission is by far my favorite so I was disappointed to have so little time with it.

The Mission closed at 5pm but we stayed to shoot outside a little longer and made plans to stop by again before leaving for home in the morning.

Just before we left, I spotted this tiny red bird which I later found out was a male Vermilion Flycatcher.
