Tucson Snowstorm
 

Tucson is known for many things.  We've got great Mexican food, beautiful mountains, and hot summers.  Golf, cycling and hiking are world class.  But Tucson is definitely not known for snow.  In fact, most people move here to get away from the "white stuff".  It typically only snows here about once every 3-4 years.  So twice in one week is simply unheard of but that's what happened.  Saturday it snowed in many areas around town.
Yesterday, it snowed again.  I've been out photographing the "white stuff" three times in just the last few days. … (1 comments)

Did you know Saguaros can Glow?
I'll apologize ahead of time about the cheezy title.  Saguaros and some other cactus actually can glow.  This happens just after sunset and just before sunrise.  When the sun is behind the cactus at the right angle the suns rays will hit the semi translucent needles making them appear to glow.  Some of my favorite pictures are taken from this angle.
 

 
The cholla cactus actually lights up even more due to the very transparent needles.  Many other types of cactus have a needle that is too dense.
