parley view parsnip...

My Monday post about what is going on around my home...
Last Monday I met for lunch,
the wonderful Joanna from the blog "Haliburton Hill"
Who is spending a few weeks meandering her way through the Southwest with husband, two dogs and a RV.
Thank goodness one of their stops was Tucson, Arizona !
We met at the wonderful "El Charro" restaurant and as usual I forgot to take some photos because I was talking way too much.
I am always amazed by Joanna's photography and if you have the chance check out her wonderful blog that is based just outside of Victoria B.C.
As a desert dweller, I so enjoy the chance to visit other places so different from mine.
I must tell you that the differences from where we live is truly night and day.
Today's post is a favorite series of monsoon photos from July, 2011
Taken in the span of a few minutes, the ever changing fast moving monsoons clouds at sunset.






I just stand in my back yard point and click.
Fabulous !

    1. I think the when your here with all the big sky around you you don't feel so apprehension as much as exhilaration... plus these photos are looking north and west, behind me south and east was blue sky with a few clouds.
      The monsoons in Tucson are very exciting.

  6. I don't get to Tucson much but when I do - that's where I eat! It's my favorite :)
    It's making my mouth water just thinking about it.
    Love the cloud pic's. We live in kind of a magical place I think. The desert is so mysterious and beautiful, although it took me years to see it.
