many years ago (40+) some Rosy Faced love birds escaped in the Phoenix area - well they have thrived in the area and are now considered a colony in the valley - they are cute and colorful so I am always on the look out for chances to photograph them - today we had a lot with some fun behaviors -
I was trying to find another location to see the comet and my StarWalk app indicated that the ISS space station would be passing right over it on Friday at 9:24 PM - now had to find a suitable foreground - since being stuck in Arizona all summer due to health concerns our travel has been limited...
we are not usually here in AZ at this time of year but we have not been able to travel in our RV yet so that allowed us to see the baby burrowing owls this May and June
this time of the year is cactus blooming here in the AZ desert - the Saguaro has been particularly good this year - been trying to get birds on them adds to the appeal
that was a new arm starting to emerge but they cut it up and threw it way - the green buds were going to be flowers like the one in the photo had not blossomed yet
There is an issue with Uploading Photos (attachjments). I am not sure what the problem is, and I am looking into it. You can still try to Create your Threads and Upload your Photos, but it is hanging up during the Upload.
