| In August we enjoyed brillant sunsets over the mountains, blooming cactus in the yard, hummingbirds, and all kinds of other birds feeding in the yard. Click on any photo for a larger view |

| A different type of cholla cactus blooming in the back yard. | As the monsoons began, we were treated to beautiful sunsets over the Whetstone mountains, looking west from our patio. I have not figured out how to take time exposures of the lightning over the Dragoon mountains, but the electrical shows were incredible. | |||||||||||||||

| Deceased yard critter. I found this creature in the pool cleaner filter after it fell in the pool and drowned. It is a harmless Vinagroon, or Whip Scorpion. It's body is about 3" long. It eats bugs and small scorpions and squirts acetic acid (smells like vinegar, hence the name) when threatened by a predator. | ||||||||||||||||
| Just another day in Tombstone. Actually this was during Rendevous of the Gunfighters, when re-enactment groups come and put on shows at the OK Corral. Penny and I have been slowly procuring some 1880's clothing. | ||||||||||||||||
