A couple days ago, I got back from a one week vacation to Tucson, Arizona. It was a beautiful time to visit there. We almost had the desert to ourselves. We had a chance to take lots of pictures. I wasn't very pleased with many of them. It's been so long since I took many photos that I was really out of practice. I've posted some of the ones I liked and I hope you enjoy them.

I love the desert. Although I spend most of my time in the eastern US, there was a time that I was a "desert rat." I lived in the Mojave desert for several years. It takes some time to get used to it but once you do, you see a beauty in things that you never noticed before. Not only the wild colors but also the textures, the way you can see the terrain, the elegant mechanisms that the plants and animals use to survive in the harsh environment.

Thank you for letting me share these pictures with you. Stay safe. Hope to see you on the road, somewhere out there.
