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.
"A" Mountain is just southwest of downtown Tucson. Panorama is from that vantage point. In the background Catalina Mountains to the left and Rincon Mountains to the right.

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. ♥
Intense wind, rain, lightning, and thunder. Flash flood warnings were posted shortly after this storm started.
Please do not add me as a contact without commenting or faving my photos. A non commenting contact is not what I desire. I will not follow a 'non commenter' and will delete contacts who don't comment. If you add me as a contact please feel free to make any thoughtful comment you wish. Faving a photo will be considered a comment. Thanks for understanding, sharing thoughts and ideas is what I would like to get out of flickr.

Flower of Cardia bolssier aka Texas olive (although it's not really an olive--and this one is not in Texas) in a residential landscape in Tucson, Arizona.
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!
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.
