A great photographer once told me, "A truly great shot can give you another great shot by moving one inch in either directon." That proves to be true in any photographic medium!
Notice how the photos above of Mt. Graham change from having moved slightly?
Try it some time. It's an adventure in photography!

Firth Park Pool





Remember those hot, lazy days of summer? They were days when we were young. We grabbed our sandals, towel and swimsuit and headed for the community swimming pool. It seemed like we always bumped into a friend at the pool and enjoyed our time in the pool diving to see who could pick up the penny from the bottom at the deep end.

Firth Park Pool in Thatcher, Arizona lets you relive the good, ol' days in a family environment with all the joy that a small town can offer.

Introduction

Graham County boasts of the histories of the Old West! You might not know it when driving through the many quiet towns, but a little perseverance shows places that were once the homes of Billy the Kid, Geronimo, The Clanton Gang and much more! We also have a large draw for deer hunters and bird watchers. It is a place that is well worth visiting.
