I haven't been blogging for nearly a week, and I have to say, I miss the Rain. My camera hasn't had a break, though. This evening, driving home from the third closing in as many days, (yay!!) I was singing as I came up the Ajo pass on my way home. Do you ever do that? Just break into song because your heart is happy?
Driving up the Ajo pass toward Kinney Road, I could see that the western horizon was clear, although the sky above was cloudy. In Tucson, this is the stuff of magical sunsets. The setting sun's rays sneak up under the clouds, and the sky turns to fire!
I called my Darlin' to say that I'd be home half an hour late. I had to capture the setting sun.
This was my favorite. I'll share more during the week. (And have you been listening to the Golf Channel or ESPN? Tiger Woods is in town.) Come visit!

Yes, my heart sings with happiness, too, when I have three closings in three days. Great photo, Mike!

Beautiful Mike! I bet you've been busy with all the refi work too.....oh now I just read the comments so I KNOW you have been.

Yes I have! And the phone has been ringing with referrals from AR members in Arizona. We have purchases in the works. I need some more chocolate...

Beautiful photo, Mike. I love that gorgeous southwest sky.

Mike- this is one of the things I like best about Arizona, the openness and the sunsets. You always capture them so well......love the picture.
Beautiful photo!! And I always enjoy hearing about some "old familiar places". :-)
Mike-That is simply an amazing picture, Thanks for sharing
Oh man...I just love Western Sunsets. They are similar in West Texas and someone told me that in part it's due to the dust in the air. Whatever, small price to pay! Great shot Mike!
Spectacular colors and photo Mike, although as you can imagine it was somewhat distracting for me! XXOO
Mike you make a good case to move to Arizona it is beautiful.
Awesome photo!
Yes, I'll be watching for Tiger this week....have fun!
WOW! is right. That one is a show stopper.
Got it.
Mike,
This is worth the wait! What a wonderful photo!!! Thanks for sharing.
Wow!
I wake up late and I'm twenty-fourth to express that feeling. Mike, your photos are a great way to start the morning!
Thank You,
Bill
You really can't imagine how much that picture warms up a cold day. I'm tired of winter now. We've had an unusually cold February for Tennessee, and I'm ready for summer. Keep up the good work with the camera.
Larry,
Spring's coming! Hang in there.
Bill,
You're so welcome!
Lenn,
I sure appreciate your artwork; keep it coming!
Dorie,
Thanks! You're welcome.
Lenn,
Ditto my earlier remark. You're a woman of action!
Toula,
Our son is flying home this morning to LBI after a week in the desert. He wasn't too happy about today's forecast for your area.
Terry,
Now if I can get you to act on that thought... :)
Susie,
Our saguaro cacti are the predominant tree of the Arizona Sonoran Desert. You need to bring a camera to AZ!
Russell,
The sky is just spectacular at times. Thanks for commenting.
Joe,
God painted the sky; I just clicked the shutter.
CJ,
I can't believe you don't find time to come on out! We're just a hop, skip & a jump away!
Kathy,
It's always good to see you on my blog; thanks for commenting.
Michael,
Thanks!!
Gerry,
You, my friend, are welcome!
Jesse,
Winter's almost over, you two haven't flown south for a visit. Come on down!
Mike in Tucson
Mike, the sky looks like a lava flow. That is an amazing photo!
Mike - You live in a fantasyland, there's no question about that! I think this is your most stunning picture yet!
If I had three closings in one week, my heart would be singing and my feet would be dancing! That would make any agent break out in song. That sunset would too. Simply beautiful.
Donna,
Thanks.
Myrl,
I really like the structure in the cloud above the saguaro. I appreciate the encouragement.
Tony,
It does, doesn't it? "Lava flow " would have made a good title.
Mike in Tucson
Wow, that's really beautiful. The Saguaro in there really makes the photo!
Howdy there Mile
That there sure is one fine sunset to ride off in to, my friend. You sure do always give us some of the very best photo, ganter at. Got to tell I sure do miss getten to ride out to set ganter that kind of a sunset.
Great shot Mike - That one should be on a marketing piece for Arizona. If I haden't seen those skys myself, I wouldn't believe it!
Mike - Extraordinary. Congrats on a great week and for taking the time to sing and savor the moment.
Marlene,
Thanks! This one's shaping up pretty well, too.
JD,
It's good to see you on my blog. Things are picking up out here. Love to Kathie.
Dale,
Thanks for stoppin' by! It's always good to see you. Will you participate in any SAS shoots here in Arizona? Just a thought...
April,
Saguaros are my favorite. They spice up any photo!
Mike in Tucson
Howdy there Mike, my friend
Will reckon that could possibility happen, seen that I may just be haven some free time in the future. Ya see I've just about made up my mind to leave the AR community. Looken at setten up my own server , for my blogging site and Website running from it. I'll let ya know.
Oh man! I didn't see this before I commented on the other one!! You do have a knack for the right place at the right time... :) Beauteous!
Doreen,
Thanks for the encouragement. I was walking in my own neighborhood--Tucson Estates II in the Tucson Mountains.
Mike in Tucson
Mike,
The photo is outstanding - I'll always remember you and John doing your photo shoot at Gates Pass capturing so many wonderful memories.
Yes, I often break out in song - so does Millie as you know. Love Ya, Kathie
Mike - Absolutely Beautiful shot! My mom lives in New Mexico and I have seen sunsets like this on the desert before and am always mystified by them. It just makes you stop in your tracks when you see it. Nice job!
Mike,
I think that is the richest, purest red I've ever seen in a sunset. WOW! :)
