Well, I don't have any basketball pictures, even though, I am a huge fan, and New Mexico and Arizona did give us cause to cheer. I was expecting company from out of town and was busy scouting birding areas and other nearby tourist attractions. This particular Saturday I went to Catalina State Park north of Oro Valley. What a really great place for hiking and birding. They also have great areas for RV's. I took the birding path, because my Canadian friend Brock was soon to arrive. These were the pictures that I took on my walk.
You can barely see the moon in the arm of this saguaro to the left.
Looks like a nice easy path; however, it does change in the next picture. Instead of having you hike up a path, they conveniently constructed some stairs. Also got my shadow while taking the picture.
This is a view going up the other side. Hard to watch for birds while you're making your way, but the dedicated birders that I know would do just that.
So this is how insane life in Tucson can be. Of course, it grew without my permission, and right across the street from the State Park is the Oro Valley Market Place which is a really nice shopping mall. They were having a car show and one of my photography groups Shoot It Raw was meeting here to take pictures. There were hundreds of people there snapping away, and I never did find anyone from my group.
I have a fondness for Bugs as many others do judging from the shot.
My mom and dad had one of these Buicks only it wasn't a convertible.
Before NASCAR became popular, we always listened to the Indy Race on Memorial Day while doing lawn work in Albuquerque.
This is what I guess is termed as a "selfie." I don't know if the shadow counts as an added bonus.
Evidently this guy's wife insisted on having a Bentley. I guess I should have gotten a shot of the whole car, but the price was so staggering that my eyes glazed over...Hundred of Thousands! Yikes, back in 1999 to boot. Oh well, this is what make car shows interesting and taking pictures a bonus.
