Rigging, we don’t see too much of this in Tucson. We see brown and thorns and mountains. But we don’t see bays, and docks and rigging.

I’m attracted. Ahoy.

I was at Dana Point Harbor visiting an old friend the Pilgrim when the Harbor Patrol boat left the dock and headed out to patrol the harbor (of all things)

I’m a sucker for Shiny Red boats on blue water.  Especially when the color of almost everything with an anchor is white.

It was in celebration of my 61st orbit around the sun. It was hot. The view was beautiful and the food was great.

Located Just off the Road to Elgin from highway 82 outside Sonoita.

It stands as a reminder of our Pioneer past and tradition.

I’ve debated about using photos from my phone. I know they are getting better, but I’ve not been real thrilled with the quality of images coming from my Droid X.

It has an 8 megapixel camera, but the mega pixels refer to the sensor. The sensor is only part of the equation.

Glass, is the biggest part; glass meaning the lens. I’ve not been impressed with the images, or the lens.

It was my “plan” to have a Droid X image week, but . . .  I submit this image to consideration.  The jury is still out on any further images from this critter.

I wonder how long he can stay in the sunset.
Better question might be, can he even see?

Those three pyramid shaped mountains always let you know those are the Tucson Mountains.

Tucson is surrounded by four mountain ranges. The Catalinas, Santa Ritas, Rincons, and Tucson Mountains.

The Tucson Mountains sit to the West and provide these sunsets like a glimpse into Egypt.

The evening before the practice rounds were to start I was able to drive through the course on the main road.  

The sun was setting behind these tents.  

It looked like Camelot.

The Catalina Mountains from Oro Valley catch the setting sun. Often a red/orange glow is given off the mountains.

In winter there is a starkness to the scene.
