Temperatures Rising In Arizona

Tucson Weather Today

_____

In preparation for the upcoming summer season filled with 100 plus temperatures, I went over across the street and got my hair cut this morning. And I mean cut. I still have some hair on my head but each individual hair is only about one-quarter inch long. It's what is called a GI haircut. I should take a picture of my head (and face too) and post it here on the blog. I just might do that.

Early May In Tucson

Day before yesterday I walked (for exercise, exploration, and recreation) from the house all the way down Calle Del Valle then veered onto Coronado and then to Soldier trail where I proceeded to tread the rocks of a desert path to Calle Del Rincon then to home again.


This second picture is a close-up of the desert path's uneven, rocky surface.


While walking along on the paved roadway of Calle Del Rincon I noticed a beautifully landscaped Arizona lawn (rocks and cactus, no grass) and took a few pictures of it. Here they are:






Then last evening while we were out walking Eva, a coyote appeared on the street ahead of us. I managed to take a couple of quick shots but it was too far away and the sun was waning so the photo clarity was less than desired.

Here it is in the road in the center of the photo. Look closely . . . and try to ignore our intrusive shadows.



Here it is leaving the road to enter a yard full of hysterically barking dogs.


It can be seen a little better in this shot.


I think that I would do better if my camera had a stronger zoom. Maybe next time I see Mister Wile E. Coyote I will be able to get a bit closer to him.

We shall see . . .

Photos

I've added some new photos to my Arizona Pictures web page, and have twelve of them posted now. There are four pics to a page with a MORE link at the bottom of each page.

The original link is Arizona Pics for those who might be interested.

And that's about all I have for now.

Oh well, I've always heard that "less is more" or something like that.
