SNOW in Tucson? Yep! Let it snow!

Big white flakes! YES - SNOW! And immediately after the snow began falling we had a power outage! Tucson doesn't do well with cold weather! All fixed now - no worries! 

TUCSON DAILY PHOTO IS NOW ON INSTAGRAM. CHECK IT OUT! 
 

NAP TIME!

 

Just a lazy Monday for this HUGE kitty! 

Hey - check out TucsonDailyPhoto on Instagram now! 

What the hail?

Sunny Tucson? Not today! 

Hey - check out TucsonDailyPhoto on Instagram now! 

TWO icons! Bernie (with his mittens) at a Very Famous Place....

FIRST - You can now keep up with Tucson Daily Photo on INSTAGRAM. 

Ha! Of all the Bernie memes posted now, I really love THIS ONE! Looks like he is waiting for his order of Pat's Famous Chili Dogs to go....    Yay! Go, Bernie!  

A Sweet Message!

 

Hitting the bottle??

If the situation in Washington, DC is getting on your nerves, let me suggest a little adult refreshment! And here to celebrate wine in a BIG WAY is one of Tucson's most beloved icons - the Boondocks Chianti Bottle! Did you know that the cork topper is real cork? Boondocks has been a blues music hangout in Tucson for decades. It came under new ownership in 2017. 
 

Calm in the Face of Chaos

I have to wince when I look at my last posting. I optimistically predicted a "Glorious New Year." I have been riveted to the news and am now offering this tranquil Tucson skyscape to bring an image of calm to you.

So far, I can't imagine much worse of a start to 2021. Rioters who have been fed dangerous lies are trying to turn our country upside down and inside out. This is as much of a crisis as 9/11. In fact, perhaps it is worse. Many Americans have embraced violence against other Americans as the answer to their troubles. And as to all of those people who honestly believe that the incoming President is participating in a Satanic Pedophile Ring..... I am beyond horrified. How have we gotten to this point? 

 
 

Path to a Glorious New Year!

Here is one of the many lighted paths at the Tucson Botanical Gardens. Their holiday luminaria festival is a perfect way to celebrate walking into the New Year! I hope that your 2021 path is colorful and beautifully illuminated! HAPPY NEW YEAR! 
 

A Very Welcome Sign!

Wow - I don't know what to ask first -- WHEN can you start? or WHAT will you fix first? 

Our country has serious problems that require wisdom, empathy, and fortitude to tackle. We start 2021 with a new year, a new president, and a new plan. Let's work together to get America healthy and working again! Masks & Vaccines - yay! 

 

If you believe in Santa....

For more than 60 years the North American Aerospace Defense Command has tracked Santa's progress across the globe. To pass the time until Christmas Eve, go to the site and you and your kids can play games and have fun exploring Santa's village! They also have a MAP and a COUNTDOWN! Fun!

A very CLEVER take on our collective COVID situation.....

Yep, we're all in this together. DO SING ALONG!!!  Enjoy!

Santa was born in Tucson, AZ!

Yes, Virginia, there really is a Santa Claus and he was created in Tucson, AZ! Artist Haddon Sundblom created the well known and well loved image of Santa for the Coca Cola company. 

Sundblom was a frequent visitor to Tucson where he stayed at what is now known as the Westward Look Resort. Sundblom often used the resort owner's two daughters, Laci and Sancy Nason, as his models. In this painting Sundblom transformed little Sancy into a boy so that Coke would appeal to both boys and girls.

Corny Christmas Cactus

I love the crazy ways that Tucsonans decorate their cacti at this time of year! FUN! 
 

'tis the Season!

Even the cactus in Tucson are getting spruced up to wait for Santa's arrival! Actually it is QUITE COLD here now so these hats also serve to protect the cactus from freezing. Both stylish and practical! 
 

Plato said it best: "Know Thyself"

This driver probably isn't on a lot of dinner party guest lists! Large Bore indeed....  Although because we are in Arizona I am guessing he is referring to ammo caliber. But maybe not! 

Santa's Letter Box!

Christmas is just around the corner! My neighbors set up a special bright red mailbox marked "Letters to Santa" so that our neighborhood kids don't even have to go to the post office. Sweet! A little fake snow, a snow globe, elves and VOILA - the festive mood is set! On Dasher, on Dancer.....(can you name them all?).

Lovely Lemon Lift!

Like a breath of spring - a beautiful and lush lemon tree in full bloom. Aren't we lucky in Tucson to have citrus trees in our own back yards?
