I arrived at the Getty right when they opened and was bummed it was so cloudy and gloomy. I took photos anyways because I was on vacation and would not be able to go back. The sun came out a couple hours later. I never thought I would be able to use these photos but the clouds actually worked in my favor this time!

Friends, I've been posting a photo on Flickr almost every single day for quite awhile (except when unable to). I'm going to give myself a break and let go of feeling that I must post each and every day. My motto, now that I'm in home hospice, is 'Easy does it.' Plus, there are many 'winding things up' tasks that need to be done. I'll be back on Flickr when/if it feels do-able. Thank you all, from deep in my heart, for your interest in my photos, and for sharing yours. Many blessings to you all. ♥

This is a shot of a lifetime for me, I have seen the aurora many times in the arctic and it is of course better and amazing, but this is Tucson, near Mexico. The color of the sky, the color of clouds with the odd contrast, the stars............ this is amazing. This is early in the night immediately after full darkness when the aurora was brightest (so far). Nikon Z7II and Nikon 50 mm F1.8. This is the view from my driveway ! A little Moonlight is a fill light- for the landscape.
An epic night across the globe- but an aurora like this in Tucson is amazing and the colors otherworldly. The colors were redder-magenta than to purple.. when purple it was purple haze. A rattlesnake slithered past at one point about 20 feet away, minding its own business, leaving me to my own business, An astro event of the year for Tucson AZ latitude.
Summertime in Tucson has some simply Awesome Skies and Lightning for our enjoyment but, it also has some of God's most Awesome Flowers for our enjoyment.....This morning was one of those moments...
A yellow-rumped warbler Setophaga coronata in a mesquite tree in Tucson. Thanks very much to Russ Parman and Dave Stewart for help in identification.
The reward near the end of a recent hike - a great view of the approaching sunset over Tucson. And a reminder to get it in gear after the shot, as I didn't have a flashlight other than my phone - so much for the ten essentials!
Late season in Tucson but with the heat and humidity the monsoon is hanging on a little longer. A storm cloud and lightning illuminating the foothills and desert plants. The planet Jupiter shines brightly in the upper right.
