Painting Tucson

Oro Valley Public Art

Monsoon rains had filled the sky most of the afternoon and evening.  There were heavy clouds with thunder and lightening goin on all around.  Just has the sun was setting it popped out under the clouds for about 5 minutes.  The slot for light was very narrow and focused.  It hit the mountains and I knew where I wanted to be.  I also knew I had less than 5 minutes to be there and still have the light.

I made it set up and got off about 6 quick shots before the light and the sun were gone for the day.  This one was the keeper.  Shot with an Ultra Wide angle at 14mm.  1.6 sec exposure at f8.

Puzzles And Shoes

Take the shoes, take the pencil, solve the puzzle, dance the dance.  Find yourself in the moment.  Childhood and youth, love of life and enthusiasm.

Purple Dragon's Head

How alive it is.  Don’t turn your back on this plant.  Transformation, it can happen amazingly fast.  Don’t be fooled by their beauty.  Don”t Touch!  Do They bite?  Don’t find out.

Green Chairs on Front Porch

Perfect for holding potted plants.  Of course it is hard on the chairs.  The water from the pots tends to rot the chair bottom.  Not something you would want to sit on.  Not something you probably want in your house either.  I took this because the green was so very green.

I’m not that impressed with the shot.  There were a lot of others better that day.  But it struck a fancy of a friend of mine.  So here for her viewing please, Green Chairs and potted plants.

Handing off the Stone Cold Pizza

It’s a pizza hand off, like two runners in a marathon these two metal heads are either going for the pizza or headed home with the last two pieces.
