Your "Misty Morning" looks like the Superstition Mountains east of Phoenix.
Here's a pic of the Huachuca Mountains on the border with Mexico, with a summer thunderstorm in it's beginning stages building over the top of them.
This is the kind of weather we've been having for the last month, with thunderboomers rolling over us daily!!!

The photo is taken from the roof of my house...

Mornin' Amy, it would never do to miss the Fresno Rally report. All the great pictures of the dedicated Freeper Island crew are so inspirational. Well, R & R will have to wait for I must be off to work . Checking others work means your own doesn't get done. (Of course, I will be popping in and out.) Everybody have a great day.

Can I just say that I feel as if I need to hold my heart, to keep it from falling, it's so heavy!?! I've been really busy with the girls, but will FOR SURE come back later!!!

I dream of AZ day and night. Right now, we're watching the Crocodile Hunter, and he's doing one of his Arizona shows. Did my regular AZ search on ebay already, just so I don't miss anything.

This is exactly what I needed!!!! (aahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...)

Amy, that looks like it could be the new golf course in Williams, AZ. They've had a terrible time with the elk coming in to eat the grass on the greens! Well, the real problem, I guess, is when the bulls go to fighting. They take out some humongous divots!!!!

You have mail :)

Well, I have to tell you that I am the BIGGEST sap! kneezles and I are watching a Toby Keith special on CMT. He just talked about his song "Courtesy of the Red White and Blue" and I cried all the way through it. At the end of the song the crowd started chanting U S A, U S A!!!! Just awesome. He said "I would like you to know that I don't care what Mr. Jennings thinks about my song....." hahahahaha

Anyway, I'm having a moment here and had to share with you just how proud I am to be and American. Just how proud I am of our troops. And just how proud I am of our veterans. God Bless You All!!!! *sniff*

I believe this is near Flagstaff.
When I drove thru Arizona four years ago, we saw lots of dear and elk near Flagstaff.

[HiJinx]

YesYesYes!!!!! Come to Tombstone!!!
I'm right next door, y'all can come see me!!!!
Please!?!?!?
I have an apartment attached to the house...real cheap...all it costs for an unlimited stay is good converstation!!!

Good Morning, MoJo!!!
Welcome to the Canteen, our little out-of-the-way corner of the world where everyone is nice to each other (except for us BadBoyz) and we always have supporting our troops, their families, and the veterans who've paved the way.

OBTW, that's monument valley, up on the Navajo Reservation.
Tony Hillerman writes some great police/detective stories set in that area. He weaves the Navajo/Hopi culture into his work extremely well!

[HiJinx]

Bingo!!! Williams is just west of Flagstaff on I-40.
The Cowboy Shooters Association has a gathering there every year, and it is also a jumping off point for travelers visiting the Grand Canyon.

[HiJinx]

Bring it on!!!!
Let's put a little more cyber-jet-fuel in that puppy and let 'er rip!!!

Are you coming in from the West? Take I-10 through Tucson and you'll drive past the Saguaro National Park and Monument.

[HiJinx]
