REBlogWorld in Las Vegas

2009-10-17T08:19:00.000-07:00

It has been a while since posting here. I'm at blogworld and new media expo in las vegas this bright morning.

It isn't entirely true about it being the city that never sleeps. It just goes to bed very early in the morning.

San Clemente Beach

2009-09-20T18:11:00.000-07:00

Drove over to San Clemente today. Always wanted to spend a day at the beach. Sunset soon. For now it is surfer time. Get the swimmers out of the water.

Cirque Du Soleil Intermission

2009-08-02T14:11:00.000-07:00

Amazing show & performances

Right after the storm

2009-07-23T18:49:00.000-07:00

Cooler and the sound of water dripping from the eves.

Nice to finally have an evening to sit out for a few minutes.

Barrel Cactus Bloom Time

2009-07-09T12:42:00.000-07:00

The Monsoon season rains have begun. This signals the barrel cactus which quickly respond and push out new blossoms.

Some of last year's fruit still remains attached as this years cycle of life mingles with the last.

Before Ronald There was Speedee

2009-07-05T14:32:00.000-07:00

Yes, little ones Speedee pre-dates the famous clown and company as the mascot for our favorite burger place.

Not to be confused with the foaming Speedy who's name sounds the same but is spelled different.

Guys Named Dave

Memorial Day Morning 2009

2009-05-25T09:45:00.000-07:00

Sitting on a back porch still cool out and the morning doves are chatting away to each other.

A pre-offer home inspection underway. Processing some pictures and reading "Rules of Thumb" by Alan Webber

A Yatzee Kind of Day

2009-04-10T17:40:00.000-07:00

My New Book

2009-04-06T08:42:00.000-07:00

Today on my tray was more than the usual mcmuffin and coffee.

I guess the crew thought I needed a Monday morning pickup.

Blue pala verde

2009-04-01T17:57:00.000-07:00

The blue palo verde are beginning their season of blooming. Yellow will be eveerwhere for the next few weeks.

In a couple weeks the foothills palo verde will follow. They have an orange center while the blue palo vede have a white center.

Iron Fire Ant

2009-03-29T15:36:00.000-07:00

There's a family of these hanging around the fire pit on the back patio.

Not your typical fire ants, these thrive where it is hot, hotter, hottest.

They don't bite, but don't pick one up. You might (will) get burned. Don't let them fool you.

Don't say you haven't been warned.

Truck Sandwich

2009-03-25T17:36:00.000-07:00

Road trip today. Delivering a Yukon to El Paso from Tucson. I'm the follow vehicle. Cut off by an 18 wheeler passing an 18 wheeler with another 18 wheeler three feet from my back bumper. All going 75 mph.

What am I doing? Taking pictures and mobile blogging all at the same time. Ye Ha!

African Daisies Dancing in the Wind

2009-03-12T12:45:00.000-07:00

Spring time in the desert brings a lot of flowers to bloom. African daisies are one of the most colorful varieties.

Thursday Golf Anyone ?

2009-03-12T11:59:00.000-07:00

I don't play golf. I used to play golf but now I only get to watch a little while showing homes bear golf courses.

I still enjoy the green and the views.

Clouds that aren't vapor trails are always a welcome sight.

Pots & Palms

2009-02-16T13:20:00.000-08:00

I'm a sucker for good stone work. I like the rich earth tones of stone work and the varied hues of color in stone seem more dimentional and natural than brick.

Contrast all this with a big yellow pot and a green palm and you end up with a scene that calms the spirit and feeds the soul.

Snow on the Tortalitas

2009-02-10T08:27:00.001-08:00

Woke up this morning to snow down to the 3000 foot level. Low enough to cover the Tortalitas with a sugar coating.

End of the Rainbow

2009-02-08T17:19:00.000-08:00

The rain bow ended in Oro Valley this evening.

I've never seen the end of one before where it reached to the ground till now.

It was amazing.
