Photographed at night at Windy Point on Mt. Lemmon, near Tucson, Arizona. The only light was from a small LED flashlight held by my very patient significant other, Charles. Repeatedly, the wind moved the flower each time I was ready to take the photo. It finally died down for a second, and CLICK. :-)
Fresh edit of an older post. This is looking south across Tucson from "Babad Do'ag" on Mt Lemmon. "Babad Do'ag" is "Frog Mountain" in the Tohono O'odham language. The sun is about to rise and the sky in the east is changing to blue but the city-lights and haze still paint with red.

This warbler is in its own family Peucedramidae. It is the only bird family endemic to North America.

No matter how many times I see Steller’s Jays, they are just as exciting as the first time. They are such cool birds with that crazy long crest and that stunning blue! This one was part of a flock that was swooping in to grab a peanut that someone had thrown out for them. One by one they came down and picked out their prize, each waiting their turn. Some of them would pick up two or three peanuts and throw them back before finding the perfect one. There was an Acorn Woodpecker in the area that obviously wanted a peanut but seemed afraid to come down and get one with the jays still around. Lucky for the woodpecker there was one left when the jays finished.

Psalm 121 King James Version (KJV)
I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.
My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth.
He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.
Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.
The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand.
The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.
The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.
The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.
With love to all my Flickr friends, of all political persuasions, as we adjust to the new reality after the outcome of the election.
After we went to the Pima Air Museum, we headed up to Mt. Lemmon to cool off and search for warblers. I had hoped we might find some new warblers on this trip. Unfortunately, the day worked out for us going was on Mother's Day and it was beyond crowded at every stop along the way . Surprisingly enough, we actually found parking at Marshall Gulch and the reliable Red-faced Warblers made appearances in the exact area we've seen them before no sooner than we got out of the car. I can't complain about that.

This was during the 2014 summer monsoon. At the moment when I snapped this photo, the sky was relatively ordinary; shortly thereafter, a large storm cell appeared over the valley floor and we were treated to a dramatic demonstration of Nature's power and beauty. Will see if I can find some photos of it to share that I haven't already posted on Flickr.
I wish all my wonderful Flickr friends a good holiday season.
This photo feels a bit chaotic like I have been feeling this year so it fully represents.

"Rows and flows of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons everywhere
I've looked at clouds that way ..."

The Yellow-eyed Junco is a bird that really makes me think Arizona. They are really nice looking with that yellow eye and when you get up in the mountains they seem to be hopping around everywhere.

This Anna’s Hummingbird kept our attention for quite some time during our trip to Arizona this month. We wanted to get a photo of his gorget all lit up and noticed that he had a couple of perches that he strongly favored. We set up next to one of them and waited. Several times he came and landed exactly where we wanted but only flashed his color for a split second and when I did finally capture a shot of it, I wasn’t all that pleased with how it came out. I did like this photo, doesn’t he look tough, almost like he has a furrowed eye-brow staring me down.

This was the sole reason I wanted to drive all the way up this mountain. How great to see this beautiful warbler much better than we did in 2011 plus some other great birds at the stream. Mission accomplished!!
