Baby on Head, Blender on Chest....?

 

OK you eagle-eyed site visitors! Time again for a "Where is This?" contest. It is likely that if you have seen this sculpture in town, you will remember it! First one to identify where this is wins a "fabulous" TDP t-shirt! Good luck!

Always a lovely spot ~ the Arizona Inn

The lovely Arizona Inn is always a treat. The gracious service and beautiful surroundings make this a hotel that is known world-wide. Whenever I have a business lunch there it never feels like work!

Hmmmm... I do often wonder what my dogs are saying....

Tuesday: Tucson Trivia Time

I have a friend who lives near Armory Park and I drive by this quirky little green and white gas station frequently. It is on the corner of 19th Street and 4th Avenue and actually it hasn't pumped gas since the 1930's! It was a victim of poor location (unpaved streets that were not frequently used) and the Great Depression. The owner eventually opened an auto body shop behind the closed gas station. It does have the distinction of being the first prefabricated gas station in Tucson. 

You lookin' at ME?

What a face! This javelina is looking right into the lens of the wildlife cam as if to say, "What?" Notice how the javelina kneels to take a sip. Interesting!

Up, up and away!

I am in the process of moving and today I was glad to have a storage POD picked up and carried off. It was just amazing to watch how the driver quickly and skillfully positioned the framework and chains around the POD and maneuvered it onto the bed of the truck. This whole process took just a couple of minutes and it was gone! 

Tucson - a Study in Contrasts

This photo beautifully captures the spirit of downtown Tucson with the stately saguaro in the foreground and Tucson's "skyscraper" of One South Church in the background. And check out the moody sky framing the whole image and the clouds reflections in the windows. Wonderful photo!
