Telltale hint ~

Ah, yes. The only thing that helps identify this snow-capped mountain as located in Tucson, AZ (and not in Canada somewhere) is the palm tree. Gorgeous vista, isn't it? We certainly have been enjoying beautiful snow but let's get back to winter temps in the 60's, shall we?  (:

Today is the last day!

The marvelous exhibit at the Tucson Botanical Gardens, "Luminous," closes today so this is your last chance to see these whimsical and enchanting illuminated sculptures for yourself. Enjoy! 

Rare Albino Javelina ~

Spotted roaming on the grounds of the Tucson Botanical Gardens...  part of Mykl Wells's "Luminous" exhibit. Wonderful! 

Winter Picnic ~

Here's a beautiful and quiet picnic spot for a special winter outing. No one around for miles! This winter wonderland setting is within Tucson's Agua Caliente Park.

Crazy contrast!

Here in Tucson's Saguaro East National Park we have white clouds in the blue sky and white snow on the cacti!

Dragon-sized Dragonfly ~

This huge and magical dragonfly sculpture is part of the "Luminous" exhibit at the Tucson Botanical Gardens. The artist who created this group of fantasy creatures is Mykl Wells, a local sculptor. Show closes on Jan 6. 

Fresh new day and Fresh new year!

Here's a fresh start to 2019 - a beautfiul and vivid Tucson sunrise. Gorgeous! What are your resolutions for the year ahead? Travel? Retire? Spend time on your hobbies? Go to the gym? All of the above? :)
