Monday in Tucson.
Spring is here too soon, blue skies, sun, everything starting the bloom.
Sounds great but February is our winter.
Every few days the rain we need in the valley, snow in the mountains.
Then sun and blue skies for a few days.
But we are starting spring too early, we need more rain.
.
Just a few random photos from the last few weeks.

Javelinas visiting the two small ponds I have in the east side yard.

About 7 of the Javelinas having a dust bath after a quick swim.
I love them, they are a hoot !

Beautiful skies.

Evening in the backyard.
Sunset clouds, I wish I could really tell you how much better this was in real time.
The colors were so much brighter and glowing.
I only use my phone camera now.
...................
And of course just besides I can, here is your pretty to start the week.
Watson always napped in the sun on the cool floor here in my kitchen nook.
thehamish is now napping here alone.
.
Still on my quest to find a reason for his episodes
.
Everyone have great start to the week.

I do so love seeing pictures of your surroundings, so different to mine here and yet all part of the same big world. Love the Cactus and the pic of the lights on in the darkness of the valley with the silhouette of the mountains behind. Also love thehamish pictures, as you know. Weather OK here, not unseasonal anyway x
ReplyDeleteSometime. I will walk around home.
DeleteI love looking at all the blogs I follow when they take photos of their yards.
The javelinas are so cute!
ReplyDeleteThey are cute and the babies are walking loafs of hairy bread but both have teeth that can rip your face off. Very protective of the family group.
DeleteDarling Hamish having a snooze!
ReplyDeleteI love those javelinas. I had never heard of them.
He is slowing down some. I never thought I would say that.
DeleteI have a little metal javelina. They look like the feral hogs around here. Do people eat them there? Me, I'm not eating anything wild, though the husband eats deer and feral hog at his cabin.
ReplyDeleteThey are their own group and part of their family has the hippo in it !
DeleteThey are peccary's and not pigs.
When I was much younger, we had friends who were hunters. So I ate, javelinas ribs, quail and doves.
Your scenery is SO different to ours and SO beautiful.

I love the lush green of your scenery.
DeleteA snooze in a sun puddle is a good thing. The javelinas are fun critters to watch!
ReplyDeleteHe would find where Watson was sleeping in the sun and snuggle in next to him.
DeleteHi, Gayle!
ReplyDeleteI love those pictures of the javelinas! I wish I had them in my back yard. Your pics remind me of the javelina herd Mrs. Shady and I saw on our vacation in Tuscon. They were all stretched out in the shade snoozing to avoid the 105 degree midday heat.
Those skyscapes look like artist's renderings - stunning! I'm sorry that thehamish needs to snooze alone. I hope his visit with the eye specialist provided some answers for you.
Have a great week, dear friend Gayle!
I have always loved the javelinas.
DeleteThe javelin are so cute,I'll trade you an alligator for one. Fingers crossed for the Hamish.
ReplyDeleteThe javelin are so cute,I'll trade you an alligator for one. Fingers crossed for the Hamish.
ReplyDeleteNo thank you. Do not like alligators.
DeleteThe Javelinas are soooo cute! I love their big faces :-)
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful photos of the sky. The golden color of sunset cloud is incredible! And the night view of your backyard is so lovely.
I hope the visit to specialist went well. It's really hard not be able to identify the cause of issues. I hope you get to figure out the cause of thehamish's episodes.
Have a happy new week xoxo
They are very sweet to me
DeleteI love the javelinas, too!
ReplyDeleteYea !
DeleteI love when you post the javelinas on the blog because I can show my students who always have the best reactions to the photos. They just can't believe it.
ReplyDeleteHey son that's for the comment. I will post a few more photos !
DeleteI have two family groups moseying by now.
You have such an awesome yard. The Javelinas are a delight!
ReplyDeleteOh gosh Than You. I love all my critters but the Scorpions !
DeleteThe Javelines resemble the Florida Boor. Hugs to you and the Hamish.
ReplyDeleteThose Javelinas! So cute! thehamish is cuter though.
