Tucson Monsoon
Just in case anyone wonders why Tucson.
I had a perfect, clear view of the entirety of the lunar eclipse last night but unfortunately not a good enough camera. Talk about awesome. Emphasis on awe.

yup.. i remember a partial lunar eclipse a few months back, the moon is so small especially if you have a crappy camera and if you move a bit it smudges!.. oh well
I grew up in Tucson. At the age of 17, when I was applying to colleges, I could not wait to leave that town. I had been bored for years, and wanted to be as far as possible (in fact, I realized later that I had only applied to colleges on the coasts).
Anyway, my parents (and my wife’s parents) still live in Tucson–and when I go there now, I love it. It’s just so beautiful, it smells so good after the rain, the sky and the desert and the mountains and the wildlife are fantastic.
I couldn’t appreciate it as a kid, but as an adult I love it.
saw the eclipse from the “red earth” here in oklahoma.. back after a major nother big brain tumor.. sad to have been :mad; from that so long and such. take care. miss the view from the Mountins on the valley and the prayers on all i knew there .. recovering still . but still alive. well maybe
Well here in Australia it was clear skies for the lunar eclipse, really quite spectacular as the moon turned a blood red then orange colour, we were lucky nothing was in the way for the beautiful sight. By the way, nice blog
LOL nice picture! My last moon eclipse was in mountains in eastern europe. Strange experience…
Its really awesome and believe me first time in my life i have seen lunar eclipse at that day.
As a designer I loved it. It just cheered me up
Nevertheless, it has become a nice picture. Unfortunately, the lunar eclipse was not to be observed here in Europe.
Wow, what a great picture – it looks like painted by Monet
This is beautiful
Nice blog
I’d appreciate with rene – it looks like the painting of a famous impressionist. Did you think about printing the picture on a canvas for your livingroom?
Tucson is purdy, for sure, but I still think New Mexico is far more beautiful. I’m biased, but …

I earned bupkis once, and i swore: “never again.”
Molly,
Another handy answer you can always have ready when someone asks you “Why Tucson” is to say “Its Not Phoenix”:)
Having lived here in the Phoenix area for 13 years (and looking forward to relocating family and business to Seattle in a couple of years) I have come to appreciate Tucson more over the years as being more “Arizona” than Phoenix. Strip malls and sprawl are inevitable aspects of living out west nowadays but Tucson (save for Speedway Blvd) has growth and still maintains beauty and a bit of character.
Same problem different city. I was out by the beach in Toronto (yes we have one) and we had a wicked pink evening sky. Crap camera equals crap photo all the time.
Great picture. Cool athmosphere.
Pretty, but not nearly as pretty as thee, lady.
Blasting from the past.
