A ring around the moon. Something we don't see all too often in Tucson.

I've been following devastating events of Hurricane Sandy on the news from my very warm desert location in Tucson, Arizona. I have a sinking suspicion, the area around Pier 17 I visited during my trip to New York City in April, looks nothing like this at the moment. Our thoughts are with all of you on the east coast.

One of my sister's many talents is landscape design. I saw this lovely walkway and immediately thought of her.

I've been going through my photos, finally, and have found many from past trips, get-togethers and adventures. This past April, I was in New York city again for the North East Astronomy Forum (NEAF). An unexpected and most enjoyable surprise was 3 extra non-work related days in New York City. Adventures abound! including strolling the streets and marveling at exactly how tall the buildings are. So different than the mostly 1 and 2 story buildings in Tucson.   

HAWK EYES

BLACK JACK

This handsome boy was rescued by a friend of mine. He was found wandering in the desert, malnourished and scarred. They think he was used as a pack horse for drug smuggling. He still can't be ridden, but she works with him continuously to build a bond between them.

BIG MOTION

Karen in motion.



MOVEMENT

My good friend Karen is a extraordinarily talented Turkish-Egyptian dancer. I have watched her for more years than I can remember. Somewhere, those watchings turned to photographing. I love the challenge of getting just 'that' shot; with costumes flaring, grins splitting faces and the intriguing spirit of movement.

A SHOCKING RETURN

And, bam! We are back in the posting business after many, many months away. Whew.
