Sunset from Lone Star Drive, Tucson Estates 2, in the Tucson Mountains

I haven't been blogging for nearly a week, and I have to say, I miss the Rain. My camera hasn't had a break, though. This evening, driving home from the third closing in as many days, (yay!!) I was singing as I came up the Ajo pass on my way home. Do you ever do that? Just break into song because your heart is happy?

Driving up the Ajo pass toward Kinney Road, I could see that the western horizon was clear, although the sky above was cloudy. In Tucson, this is the stuff of magical sunsets. The setting sun's rays sneak up under the clouds, and the sky turns to fire!

I called my Darlin' to say that I'd be home half an hour late. I had to capture the setting sun.

This was my favorite. I'll share more during the week. (And have you been listening to the Golf Channel or ESPN? Tiger Woods is in town.) Come visit!

You really can't imagine how much that picture warms up a cold day. I'm tired of winter now. We've had an unusually cold February for Tennessee, and I'm ready for summer. Keep up the good work with the camera.

Larry,

Spring's coming! Hang in there.

Bill,

You're so welcome!

Lenn,

I sure appreciate your artwork; keep it coming!

Dorie,

Thanks! You're welcome.

Lenn,

Ditto my earlier remark. You're a woman of action!

Toula,

Our son is flying home this morning to LBI after a week in the desert. He wasn't too happy about today's forecast for your area.

Terry,

Now if I can get you to act on that thought... :)

Susie,

Our saguaro cacti are the predominant tree of the Arizona Sonoran Desert. You need to bring a camera to AZ!

Russell,

The sky is just spectacular at times. Thanks for commenting.

Joe,

God painted the sky; I just clicked the shutter.

CJ,

I can't believe you don't find time to come on out! We're just a hop, skip & a jump away!

Kathy,

It's always good to see you on my blog; thanks for commenting.

Michael,

Thanks!!

Gerry,

You, my friend, are welcome!

Jesse,

Winter's almost over, you two haven't flown south for a visit. Come on down!

If I had three closings in one week, my heart would be singing and my feet would be dancing! That would make any agent break out in song. That sunset would too. Simply beautiful.

Donna,

Thanks.

Myrl,

I really like the structure in the cloud above the saguaro. I appreciate the encouragement.

Tony,

It does, doesn't it? "Lava flow " would have made a good title.

Mike - Absolutely Beautiful shot! My mom lives in New Mexico and I have seen sunsets like this on the desert before and am always mystified by them. It just makes you stop in your tracks when you see it. Nice job!
