There IS a club for everything!

Red Alert! If you collect tractors or any kind of vintage engine, there is a Tucson club for you: Power from the Past.  John Deere, Allis Chalmers, and more were on display for collectors to admire. There really is a club for everything!

Throwback Thursday - Perky Penguin from 2010

From February 25, 2010

When I'm stuck in traffic I'm always glad to have my camera on the seat beside me. I spied this pristine white truck hauling an equally snowy white trailer emblazoned with a penguin. I was intrigued. I didn't know what "Chums" was and if you don't know either, here's the link:

Tucson's Spring has SPRUNG!

All over town cheerful flowers are brightening up the landscape. Here are some beautiful blooms in the Rincon neighborhood. Our temperatures are in the 70's this week so it's definitely time to get my backyard ready for planting!

One of Tucson's cinematic treasures ~

For the most interesting selections of films - both new and old - The Loft Cinema is a Tucson treasure. Organic popcorn, wine, and healthy snacks make this a great venue to watch a film. Did you also know that The Loft is a nonprofit organization?
