Author Joyce Oroz Takes a Trip to Arizona - Mysterious Burros Spotted

Boston has its Terriers, France has its Poodles and Arizona has Burros galore. They wander the deserts, looking adorable in their brown fury coats and jackrabbit ears.

Recently I was driving along a two-lane Arizona road, when half a dozen burros crossed in front of my car just three car-lengths ahead. I pulled over just as they turned and posed for a picture, and than galloped back to my side of the road for another picture. Hamming it up, they crossed the road again and waited for me to take a final shot.

Obviously the burros were undecided as to where they wanted to be, or was it a senior moment and they forgot where they left their glasses—who knows. Anyway, the Highway Patrol arrived and ushered them along to better pastures. I continued my journey, still smiling and thinking about those darling little burros.

Burros, donkeys, mules - they always look like they are up to something sneaky.

Horses, on the other hand, can don a completely innocent expression even when guilty.

If you don't live in Aromas, California, you might not know about the Aromas Bridge that has recently been dressed up with 75 colorful fish--all swimming toward town. Each fish is 42 inches long and painted by a volunteer using five vibrant colors of acrylic mural paint. Our volunteer painters were all ages, 10 to 80 years old, with or without painting experience. They carefully designed their fish, and the results are magnificent. Three generations in my family had a good time painting fish. I watched a senior couple paint one fish with their granddaughter.

Now that our river is clean and the steelhead are back--75 colorful fish have joined the fun. This is the ninth mural to be organized and donated by the Aromas Hills Artisans.
