| Cortaro Bridge over the Santa Cruz river |
Tucson and neighboring Marana are doing really great for developing urban bike paths throughout the city, particularly along the major washes and rivers. Within an easy bike ride from my home is a wonderful bike path along the Santa Cruz river, which actually has water running through it most times of the year! This morning I hopped on my bike with my sketch kit and sketch stool in a day-pack and rode to a location I had noticed on a previous outing, offering a great view of the Santa Cruz flowing under the bridge at Cortaro Road. And this is my sketch!
As I was putting the finishing touches on my sketch a man who had been jogging along the path informed me that he spotted a 5-foot rattlesnake a little ways up the path, if I cared to go check it out. So after I packed up my stuff and I rode to the area he indicated, but the snake apparently had left. Oh well.
