Tucson Mountains. This one was watching over her nest which is in the middle of this cactus and well-protected with cholla spines. Not sure how they avoid getting poked.

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. ♥
Some of you may recognize this image - it is one that was used by KVOA channel 4 in Tucson to open their 10pm news show. I need to figure out the best way to get them to acknowledge their use of my image....
This shot of an adobe wall and tower was made from the courtyard of Poco and Mom's, the restaurant where we held our ECE alumni event. Love the shadows in the midday sunshine.

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.
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!
