Way Out West

Yeah, I know, its been a while.  We're in Fountain Hills, Arizona for a bit and the time has been flying by.  Two sets of the "kids" are here also.  One set  lives here and the other set is snowbirding for a while.  We've been enjoying the time and activities we share together. 

I've been birding a bit since a lot of the birds here are new to me.  Been doing my best but its like starting over as a new birder when you go to a new area.  

These are lousy pictures because my longest lens is only 200 mm and the birds don't care to pose close to me.  I've added a number of new birds to my life list and for that I'm happy.

The day we got here we had the opportunity to go down to the fountain park for the Balloon Glow.  It was a lovely sight. 

I lived in the desert at Las Vegas for 20 years but the Sonoran desert is totally different than the Mojave.  I like Sonoran best.  There seems to be more vegetation and, of course, the saguaros are so wonderful and majestic.  

Gotta run.  Things to do since the "kids" are coming over today and preparing dinner for all of us. 

Y'all take care.
