Old Tucson

Back in January, I had an opportunity to walk around Old Tucson Studios early in the morning before they opened. Although the place might look deserted in these snapshots, a running event was happening with hundreds of people meandering through the little town and cheering at the finish line. Here are some quiet moments from the venue:

The crow was real!

That's about it for now.  Have a lovely day. :)

Tyler says, "Happy, happy, happy!"

Tyler was visiting Arizona last week, having traveled all the way from Massachusetts and he even brought his parents along too.  It was fun!

Big Birds

One morning I saw three hawks. The first one was perched on a bare tree branch:

Cooper's Hawk

The next hawk was on top of a saguaro cactus:

Here is the same bird from behind:

Red-tailed Hawk

The third hawk (another Cooper's) was on a telephone pole.

Well, that's all for now.  Have a wonderful day. :)
