Skywatch Friday - Sunset

Greetings from Tucson, Arizona! Here are some of the pictures from our walk in Sabino Canyon Tuesday evening from 7:10pm to 7:44 pm. Later that night we had a good rain first time in about a month.

    You always have the most amazing shots! The one with the power lines looks like you caught the beginning of a dust storm. Thanks for sharing your walk with us. :D

    Diane, what a lovely walk! I am missing the rain too. It doesn't look like we are going to get much this year, though we did get a bit out here overnight!

    These shots make me want to visit your part of the country. My one trip down that way didn't allow me time to get west of NM. Beautiful!
