Desert washes rich with palo verdes, cholla cactus, brittlebush, saguaros and grasses where water sometimes runs or many animal prints in the sand instead intermingle with people’s residential zones, creating a wonderful coexistence of the people and animals, bobcats, coyotes, javelina, occasional cougars, white and black tailed bunnies, jackrabbits as well

countless birds in the trees and atmosphere, cardinals and hummingbirds appear, many doves,

cactus wren flitting from cactus to cactus, hawks and vultures, comical handsome quail – one minute calm, another in panic – with reason here in Fountain Hills there is contentment.

If only all towns could be so ideal. Little wonder Fountain Hills’ residents frequently smile, happy to be alive like in that state beyond argument where peace reigns and gladness abounds.

To live here is truly good fortune, wealthy in nature, stars galore decorating mountain silhouetted skies. Oh my, what have we found, a great simple life in a great beautiful town, Fountain Hills, Arizona with magnificent green and blue Fountain Park, a multitude of delightful sculptures dispersed through plazas, the huge fountain

and many other smaller surprises.

What a town! So easy to love and admire!
