Posting for 2010

Well jeez. It has been forever since I wrote anything on this sad excuse for a weblog.

I might try to just post lots of photos and do a photo-blog in 2010, to lower the ambition bar a little. Then again, Coley usually hoards the camera in his backpack, so maybe even that won't help me keep up. We shall see.

Anyway, Coley and I hiked Wasson Peak in the Tucson mountains on New Year's day 2010, and it was so hot in the sun on the way up, that I wished I had worn shorts with my tank top. In the middle of the winter! Imagine that!

The saguaro cacti are easy to anthropomorphize, with all their expressive, twisted limbs. It was my dear, sweet mother who once visited and exclaimed something to the effect of "those cacti look like they're flippin' me the bird!" Anyway, I always enjoy taking photos where people pose like the cacti. Here's my latest opus in that series:

Our cool little camera has a panorama feature that I really enjoy using. Here's the city of Tucson and the Catalina Mountain range shot through some of the Tucson mountains at a little rest spot before Wasson Peak:


And here's a closer-upper of the Old Pueblo from the same vantage point:

OK! Gotta go see Fantastic Mr. Fox for $1 at the cheap-o movie theater, yet another excellent feature of Tucson!

Actually, Fantastic Mr. Fox was $1.50. But worth every penny!
