Scoot Over!

This little scooter decorates the awning of Tucson's first scooter shop, Scoot Over.  I have often thought about getting a scooter. The store's motto is, "Fun in Motion!" Hmmm.....

Throwback Thursday - Spring in Tucson!

Tucson's adorable "Reds" ~ baby javelina!!

It's hard to believe that these little babies grow up to be the HUGE trashcan scavengers that we know so well! Some things never change!

Oh boy! Baby javelina! These little cuties were born just a few days ago (see the cord still attached to one). The babies are called "reds." The javelina (pecari tajacu) enjoy dining on prickly pear cactus - spines and all. Isn't spring in the desert great?

This month the Desert Museum's member newsletter is all about javelina (and what a great cover photo!). Click on www.desertmuseum.org to learn more about these interesting vegetarians.

Ah....the simple life!

Perhaps this homeowner yearns for a simpler time - getting in touch with the land while riding around on this farm tractor. Or perhaps this is just a very large piece of yard art! 

Tuesday is Tucson Trivia Day!

Do you know how long this sign has been painted on the wall of this rental property at Euclid and 6th? Do you know why it was painted there originally? The phrase is from the Quran and was painted there when this property was a mosque in the 1980's. 

Driving home the message!

I had to smile when I read this license plate and saw that it is a Mary Kay vehicle! Nothing like driving and selling and the same time! 

Easy....like Sunday morning ~

Ah....what a nice place to relax! Hope you are having a wonderful Sunday! 

Wildlife Meow!

 

Here are some recent images from the wonderful wildlife cam of Susan Dodson! Bobcat! Isn't it weird to see the animals staring right into the camera?
