Two days ago, NOAA forecast snow down to 2000ft. Yesterday afternoon it revised to 3000ft (we’re at 2500). I’m still holding out hope for a snow covered Saguaro but now I’ll need to drive a little north of here. So…here’s another shot from December 1998. (scanned from slide)

Wow! Did we have a heck of a storm last night! Lightning and very high winds woke us up and everyone else, I’m guessing. Although this rain didn’t fall during the so called perfect time frame for wildflower germination, our Spring showing could still be a good one! (Morning After Storm clouds over McDowell Mountains)

I spotted four more American Snout butterflies over the weekend. This vantage point shows the snout isn’t a single protrusion. Pretty cool!

Pareidolia describes the psychological phenomenon of seeing faces in things like rocks and clouds or the Madonna in a slice of toast 🙂
What do you see? (I see an old man talking to his puppy)

This composite contains 6 images with one dating back 10 years. The base is a DroidX black and white shot of a dead tree captured last week in front of the Marcus Landslide. I then added the following images: a Flagstone tile from my patio, a field of dried flowers, a field of grasses, a rusty car door and a silhouette of a raven. (The other bird is a PS brush). Lots of blending, several color and tonal adjustments, a couple of filters applied and voila! You either love or hate this stuff. I obviously love it 🙂

Marine Blues are one of the most encountered butterflies here. The blue color of the top of their wings gives them their name but good luck catching one open! As other Blues, this one is very small. Canon 100mm lens hand held. ISO 400, 1/800th sec at f/4.
