Rancho Hidalgo is a mixture of high-level desert, pasture, farmland and rocky outcrops. Mixed vegetation sets off this view with the Chiricahua Mountains in the background.

These existing inhabitants let their curiosity get the better of them and they soon came over to see what we were up to. This is natural grass which provides grazing for much of the year. Substantial water rights will allow it to be maintained all year round.

We called this a 'fogbow' when we found ourselves in a very shallow fog bank one morning. The fogbow looked like a regular rainbow but without the colour; we could see a secondary at times but it didn't show on the photos.
