Not mine, but I couldn't help thinking how it would be to turn and rise up that stairway to the comfort of home.

Another in my series on homes in my Arizona neighborhood.

Thought I would pass on this note about the presidents recent visit which I agree with since details are true. Still can not believe that she was elected. Shame on this state. See my comment below for an image that I posted the last time I RANTED about Arizona politics.

"Yesterday was a great day for Arizona. Barack Obama, the President of the United States, came to our state to lay out his agenda for renewing our economy and the middle class in a stirring address at the Intel plant that is rising amid former farm fields in Chandler. It was a time to be proud of being Arizonans and Americans -- no matter what your partisan persuasion.

But Jan Brewer had a different idea. Instead of welcoming President Obama at the airport with dignity and decency, she presented him with a demand letter that he accompany her on a visit to the border and -- wagging her finger in the president's face -- she lectured him on how she had "saved" Arizona.

Jan Brewer's actions are an embarrassment. She has shown disrespect to our president and brought disgrace to the office of the governor. And if she thinks that what she and the state legislature have done over the past few years is a success story, I'd hate to see a failure."

I seem to notice birds lately ... and oranges

below is an extreme crop to show the bird a little better. I only had my wide angle lens with me on my walk then (though this is shot at the upper end of the zoom at 50mm). I believe it is a male Scarlet Tanager and is not supposed to be here according to the info.

(not the same orange tree as the previous post)

Cheering up my stream with these three residents of the Tucson Zoo. Just some cute eye candy. The first two are called Military Macaws and the right one is a Blue and Gold Macaw.
