With the current drought, vegetation looks sad.
2 days agoTaking a nap?
2 days agoI once tried eating a barrel cactus fruit, but it was tough, kind of dry and rather tasteless. I guess if one was starving, it might be ok.
2 days agoCholla skeletons are picturesque!
2 days agoHe’s listed as an 8-10” body, but that must not include the head because the wings are 16”. What always impressive when I get a good look though is the feet, that look like climber’s crampons.
Gilas are the largest and most common woodpeckers down here. Once you learn and tune into its call, you’ll hear it most times you go out, even right in town.

3 days agoWell, that’s what she was going in for (it’s the size of my kaput SD card), but came out with 3 128’s instead, which works fine. I’ve got all the memory I need now.

3 days agoWow, you had me a bit freaked when you mentioned 250 gB. But even here with (as we see) 128 gB, one can store 40,000 or up to 120,000 photos! I remember long ago we cruised electronics stores in San Francisco and came up with a 2 gB SD card (not a crummy 1gB!). I was thrilled. Actually the darn thing is still in use in one of our cameras somewhere!
3 days agoPretty striking, the sharp difference between the body and the wings. 8-10" long. How would that be measured? Maybe I could use something other than the tree for perspective, but these two appear to be a bit smaller.
3 days agoHey guys. Glad to hear that your AFD streak continues. Seems like you're hitting your groove down there in Tucson.
